I am many years in the courtyard
Chapter 434, food and sex
Chapter 434, food and sex
Time flies like the sand between your fingers.
The water of Xiangjiang River flows slowly, but no one knows that under the calm surface of the river, there are full of undercurrents.
In the circle of Chinese wealthy people, everyone knows one thing, that is, the novelist Arsonist, who has emerged in the past two years, bought the villa No. 43 on Barker Road.
Although it only cost HK$500 million, it should not be underestimated.
Many wealthy Chinese businessmen are very surprised: How can someone who writes novels be so rich?
Many people investigated carefully and found out more detailed information.
First of all, this sweetheart arsonist is the same person as Yi Nian, and his real name is Duan Nian.
Secondly, this person was an employee of China Resources for many years, but I heard that he resigned this year.
Finally, for many years, I not only owned two houses in Deep Water Bay, but also purchased a piece of land in Tuen Mun at a low price and turned it into a farm.
Although Tuen Mun is far away from the city, the land is really big.
Many Chinese-funded bosses now know that they have been a dragon for many years. They seem to have little capital, but they are actually very rich and have extraordinary backgrounds.
Not mentioning China Resources Corporation, just taking over the land in Tuen Mun is beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone No. 43 Barker Road.
Do you really think that you can buy the house at No. 43 Barker Road with just money?
It’s impossible without some British background behind it!
However, the Chinese-funded bosses did not find out what the specific situation was.
They only knew that he had invested in New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily for many years, but they did not know what his relationship was with the major shareholders of these two newspaper companies.
I don’t even know how powerful the energy behind the major shareholders is.
In short, in these many years, one should not be provoked, it is best to win them over and use them for their own use.
Therefore, entering October, I have received invitations from Chinese-funded bigwigs such as Huang Jiacheng, Huo Jiandong, and Xu Jichang for many years.
Since I want to hang out in Hong Kong Island, I don't mind chatting with these big guys for many years.
Although he has looked down on wealthy people like Huang Jiacheng who got their start in real estate for many years, this does not prevent him from establishing good relations with these people.
Rolls-Royce will need to build more employee houses in the future to solve the housing problem.
Today's Hong Kong Island, in fact, is still very chaotic in most areas.
Although the club has been suppressed by the Hong Kong Island police and no longer causes trouble, petty thefts and the like still exist.
Therefore, these scum cannot be allowed to destroy this harmonious society for many years.
When I met Huo Jiandong, I looked at the 44-year-old middle-aged man in front of me with endless emotion in my heart.
They are the real ruthless people and winners in life.
When he was still very young, Huo Jiandong worked as a coal burner on a ship, an apprentice in a sugar factory, a coolie building an airport, opened a small grocery store, etc. His life experience was extremely rich.
In [-], he founded Lixin Real Estate Company and began to enter the real estate industry.
Nowadays, the industry is spread all over Southeast Asia, involving real estate, shipping industry, etc., and he is also the president of the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce.
In the original time and space, when Huo Jiandong passed away, the state held a funeral for him.
This is not a state funeral that ordinary people can enjoy.
"Mr. Huo, I have long admired your name."
For many years, these words came from the heartfelt admiration. As everyone knows, Huo Jiandong also admired him very much.
"Mr. Xu, although I am 14 years older than you, my meager achievements are really not worth mentioning in front of you."
"Funny"
The two greeted each other politely, and then treated each other as brothers. For many years, at the age of 30, he could only be a younger brother.
Huo Jiandong didn't know where he got the information, but he actually knew that he had won three first-class merit medals in many years, which was definitely not something ordinary people could possess.
Therefore, Huo Jiandong admires Huo Jiandong very much, especially after the latter came to Hong Kong Island, he published so many novels and made several remarks.
He admired educated people the most in his life. After all, he was studying at Huangren School, but he dropped out of school early because of the Anti-Japanese War.
It can be said that he suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated, so he has been self-study over the years and has not stopped learning.
We chatted politely for more than an hour, which was basically just small talk and nothing substantive.
It’s no surprise that trust has been built up step by step over many years.
The two made an appointment to play football together next time. Huo Jiandong liked this sport better.
In later generations, Huo Jiandong indeed worked hard for the country's sports undertakings all his life. For example, when Beijing was bidding to host the Olympic Games, he contributed a lot.
After the successful bid, he donated [-] million yuan.
That's [-] million in the millennium, not [-] in [-].
After returning to Deep Water Bay, he spent many years thinking that he was not very good at playing football.
However, he is a fast runner and has very good endurance.
As for football skills, let’s do some surprise training.
In the following days, I visited the homes of Huang Jiacheng and other bosses for many years.
After some chatting, I found out that these big guys are either here at Deep Water Bay, or halfway up the mountain in Central, such as some streets near Garden Road.
Either it is in Repulse Bay, which is a place with better scenery on Hong Kong Island.
Huang Jiacheng and the others will not participate in playing football. After all, Huo Jiandong organized it.
On the contrary, it was Huang Jiacheng and others who suggested playing golf. They were speechless for many years. What is so good about this kind of sport?
Finally, I suggested going to see the racecourse, it’s close anyway.
In fact, whether it is a horse racing track, a golf course, or a football field, they are all very close.
The closest one is the golf course, which is right next to Deep Water Bay, only two or three kilometers away.
To be honest, he has not been interested in these social interactions for many years, but he is not alone.
So when you go out, it’s good to take the little ones out too, not only to gain some insights, but at least to learn one more skill.
To enrich children's spare time life, they can't just run to the farm all day long, right?
That afternoon, I brought Xiaodoubao and the others to the football field next to Wan Chai. The venue was large, the sky was blue and the weather was very good.
One for adults and one for children.
Huo Jiandong's ancestral home is Panyu, and most of the rich people who come to his football club are from places like Baiyun City.
For many years I only played football and didn't chat with anyone else.
On the other hand, the ladies group were chatting while watching those little brats playing football.
Qin Huairu had no idea that she was the one who was envied, jealous, and hated by many wives.
"Mrs. Xu, your skin is so good, isn't it? Oh, is it all thanks to Mr. Qi? Haha, we all understand."
Although a group of rich ladies are pampered, they are also quite explicit when they speak.
This made Qin Huairu feel like she had returned to No. 95 Nanluogu Lane in the capital. It seemed that at that time, neighbors like Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang were also so explicit.
She hurriedly explained, saying that it was some beauty lotion her man had made for her, as well as good work, rest, eating habits, etc.
Lu Yanni, Feng Jianni and others, who originally wanted to continue joking, stopped talking and continued to dig deeper.
If it is possible, they naturally hope to stay young forever.
Feng Jianni was born in 29 and was Huo Jiandong's first love. She is [-] years old this year.
Not to mention Lu Yanni, who is the same age as Huo Jiandong and is 44 years old this year, showing her age.
As for the other wives, they are all no less than 30 years old, so who doesn’t want to be like Qin Huairu?
Based on this situation, they are very attentive.
After all, Qin Huairu and Feng Jianni are the same age, but the former looks just eighteen or nineteen years old, just like a girl.
On the contrary, although the latter's maintenance is not bad, it is about the same as a 24-year-old young man, and it still looks older.
And her skin, figure, etc. are not as good as Qin Huairu.
A group of women discuss the topic of skin care, but there is no end to it.
On the field, Xiaodoubao and the others are playing football, so they don't want to have too much fun.
They train with their father every day, but this is their first time playing football with a team.
On weekdays, I just play a few balls at home.
After all, they have no shortage of sports, such as basketball, tennis, etc.
"Quick, pass the ball to me!"
The little boy ran very fast, dribbling the ball directly to the penalty area. After getting close, he shot directly.
bingo!
The goalkeeper was a little boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was covering his hand and was speechless in pain.
After everyone cheered, they realized something was wrong.
Something happened here. The adults' group and the ladies' group in the rest area also rushed over to check.
After running very fast for many years, I soon arrived at the venue for the children's group. I felt a little relieved when I saw that it was not my child who had an accident.
But soon, it was heard that the little one kicked the ball too hard, which caused the goalkeeper to be injured.
Several children were talking in a hurry, and they were speechless for many years. They quickly pushed the children aside, and then they saw the goalkeeper child.
The child's name is Ma Zhuoqun. He is about 1.5 or [-] years old. He is almost [-] meters tall, so he is just average.
His hands were red, probably because he didn't wear gloves when he was the goalkeeper.
"Xiaodoubao, go find your mother and get the car keys. We have a first aid kit in the car."
"I am coming too!"
Xiaotuanzi ran out after him, and then Huo Jiandong and the others surrounded him.
Seeing Ma Zhuoqun's hand, Huo Jiandong and the others took a deep breath, and then looked at the little one in surprise.
The little one, who is only seven years old this year, can't help but feel a little shy when being stared at by so many adults.
He was not afraid, nor did he think how rich these rich people were. Anyway, the little one thought his family was richer.
"A-Nian, is your son as strong as you?"
Huo Jiandong asked in surprise, smiling and nodding:
"Yes, this kid is full of brute strength, but he just doesn't know how to control it."
hiss!
Lu Yanni and others who came later also looked at it in surprise.
Soon, everyone knew what was going on. After the two sisters Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi brought over the first aid kit, they watched Duan Nian treat Ma Zhuoqun's wounds.
Feng Jianni in the crowd couldn't help but said bitterly to Qin Huairu:
"Mrs. Xu, you really have found a treasure. Look at your husband. He is so kind to you and your children. I admit that he can make money. He is actually proficient in medical skills. Tsk tsk."
It is said that comparing people with each other can make people angry. After many years of comparison, Huo Jiandong was naturally a little helpless.
Therefore, it is quite normal for Feng Jianni to be such a lemon.
What makes Feng Jianni envious the most is the love she has had with Qin Huairu for many years.
Among the many rich people present, it is rare for someone like Huo Jiandong to have only two wives.
It is said that men become bad when they are rich. Huo Jiandong and other rich people perfectly interpret this sentence.
On the contrary, it has not deteriorated after many years, and the relationship with Qin Huairu has remained as before.
As for whether Feng Jianni and others believe that they have really been careless for many years, does it matter?
The army of wives are not fools, who can’t see it with a discerning eye?
And during the chat with Qin Huairu, they also heard that he has been basically a homebody for many years, whether in the capital or on Hong Kong Island.
If there were people out there for many years, that would not be the case at all.
It can even be said that most of his time for many years was given to Qin Huairu and his children, and he had very little personal time.
Under such circumstances, it would be damning if he could still have someone outside.
"Mrs. Huo, you are so humble."
Qin Huairu said modestly. At this time, she felt sweet but also couldn't help but worry.
Soon, it took many years for the child Ma Zhuoqun to heal his wounds.
"Don't touch the water with your hands for the next twelve hours. It can be removed early tomorrow morning. Rest for about a week and it will be almost ready."
He applied the special ointment evenly, added some Chinese medicine and applied it together, and then bandaged it.
After giving instructions, he looked at Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi and said:
"How was it? What did you learn just now?"
Huo Jiandong and others were immediately surprised. Is this on-site teaching?
Gee!
Is this how you have been teaching by words and deeds for many years?
No wonder his children are so smart and know a lot.
While listening to Xiaodoubao Xiaotuanzi and the others talking incessantly, Huo Jiandong, Lu Yanni and others were very confused because they couldn't quite understand.
Medical knowledge seems simple, but in fact it is much more complex.
The two children have been studying Chinese medicine since they were young. Now they are eight years old and have mastered a lot of pharmacological and medical knowledge.
Some simple knowledge points are no longer difficult for them.
Injuries like this are actually very simple. The difficulty lies in how to judge how serious the injury is.
After all, the two of them had no experience in treating children, so they could only rely on the knowledge they had learned before and briefly talk about pharmacology.
"Yes, you are on to the point. This shows that you did not learn in vain."
Huo Jiandong, who was next to him, pulled his sons aside and began to give instructions.
Ma Zhuoqun and other children were also pulled aside by their father and scolded.
Compared with the children of the Xu family, Huo Jiandong felt that the gap between his own children was too big.
A good friendly football match ended up being a cup-loading scene for many years.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed true.
In the evening, at No. 72 Deep Water Bay, Qin Huairu pulled Duan Nian aside and chatted about today's events.
"Do you know how many wives those people have?"
"I know."
After hearing this for many years, he immediately understood what Qin Huairu meant and said with a smile:
"It's not our first day here in Hong Kong. There are many wealthy people here marrying two or three wives. It's normal. And from a legal perspective, polygamy is still legal."
She bit her lip as if holding something in, and after a while she said:
"Then why don't you marry another one."
puff!
Her brain circuit is really amazing.
Bang!
After many years, he flicked her smooth forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? Our family is very good now. If there is an extra concubine, how can this family still be peaceful?"
"Besides, who do you think I am? If I were really that kind of person, do you think I would wait until this time?"
"Not to mention anything else, when I was in the capital, didn't I often come to Hong Kong Island for business trips? If I really had other thoughts, I would have given you a sister long ago."
Confucius said, food and color are also the nature of food.
The nature of men, or the bad nature of men, is to become bad when they have money, regardless of men and women, it is the same.
It's just that as a person who has traveled through time from later generations many years ago, his thoughts are very simple.
Wife and children are hot on the kang!
The simpler life is, the better.
Compared to having a few aunts and wives, or having a big ocean horse, he would definitely prefer to travel through mountains, rivers, lakes, and see all the beautiful scenery in the world.
Nowadays, it is impossible to travel domestically, but it is still possible abroad.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to all the trouble to come to Maodong on Hong Kong Island.
When Qin Huairu heard this, her pretty face turned red and she muttered:
“I just think everyone”
People are social animals. When she was in the capital, she just felt that she was married to a good man.
However, after coming to Hong Kong Island, things were completely different.
Through newspapers and neighbors, I know that the rich on Hong Kong Island are basically polygamous.
Not to mention the distance, Huang Shitong, my neighbor, is 63 years old. Doesn’t he also have a third wife?
There are also two people, Qian Yutong and Ye Lingfeng. Their men are also lustful people who rent two or three bedrooms outside.
Some people dare to take them home, while others secretly keep them outside.
These are basically bad habits inherited from the previous dynasty.
Affected by this, Qin Huairu felt secretly happy and felt that she should be more "generous".
But he didn't expect to be reprimanded for many years.
"Okay, don't mention this again."
Many Years interrupted without hesitation:
"What other people do has nothing to do with us. We respect other people's lives, but we don't want to follow others' opinions. Just live your own little life."
Qin Huairu was still very obedient. Since her man said not to mention it again, she stopped mentioning it.
But deep down, I was very moved.
After this incident, she became more convinced that she had found a good man, and she became more gentle and obedient to him.
Time flies, and after October, November is coming.After entering November, the weather in Hong Kong Island finally changed slightly.
The temperature has dropped to around ten degrees, so I have to wear two layers of clothes when going out.
After many years of driving away from Deep Water Bay, I was going to go to Rolls-Royce to check on the progress of the project.
It has been more than a year since the construction of the R&D center started last year, but the decoration has not yet been completed. The progress is somewhat slow.
After entering Pok Fu Lam Road, from a distance, I have seen the bullet-shaped building in front of me for many years, which looks like a landmark building.
Unfortunately, this is Pok Fu Lam Road, not on the Central side.
As a designer at the R&D center, I have been quite satisfied with the works I have designed for many years.
When the security guard at the door saw the Rolls-Royce, he stepped forward to confirm before allowing the car to pass.
No matter who wants to enter the R&D center, they must confirm their identity.
This has been an order for many years, and no one dares to disobey it.
The current R&D center has completed the capping of the building and interior decoration has begun.
At this point, it is even more important to ensure the safety of the R&D center.
After all, it is a research and development institution, and it must not allow others to take advantage of it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair if technical materials were stolen?
The eavesdropping technology of the 60s was already quite impressive. We can't expect other people's eavesdropping equipment to have already entered the scene before the engineers have settled in, right?
Not to mention anything else, in 1960, Bald Eagle's two departments, the CIA and the National Security Bureau, jointly executed a secret operation code-named "Ivy Bells."
A Halibut nuclear submarine appeared on the sea floor of Okhotsk, installed bugs on polar bear communication cables, and connected audio tapes to conduct eavesdropping for 10 years.
After obtaining a large amount of key information such as the detailed deployment plan, performance, and nuclear submarine technology of the Polar Bear nuclear missile, the Bald Eagle gained the initiative in the Conference on Disarmament and influenced the pattern of the Cold War.
And in the 90s, the bald eagle dealt a cruel blow to Airbus, the Gallic chicken company, and snatched away a large order worth US$60 billion.
Originally, a certain tycoon in the Middle East was planning to purchase commercial airliners from Airbus, and Boeing, which was also a competitor, was of course very jealous.
After all, in the field of commercial passenger aircraft, Airbus and Boeing have been rivals for many years.
Coincidentally, Bald Eagle's National Security Bureau has been carefully focusing on the eavesdropping industry for many years. By the way, it eavesdropped on faxes and phone calls between Middle Eastern tycoons and airlines, and obtained very critical bidding information.
The outrageous operation came, and the National Security Bureau actually sold this information to Boeing, and then won the order without any suspense.
There are many, many scandals about eavesdropping, such as the future "Prism" project, "Angle of Anger" project, "Operation Telescreen", "Starwind" project and so on.
Therefore, of course, we need to be very vigilant about these gadgets for many years.
"Boss, the decoration work will be completed in half a month. Offices and chairs will be available in advance by then."
Gascoigne, Robert and others had been waiting for him for a long time. After seeing him for many years, they hurriedly came forward to report.
“Very good, very good!”
Many Years nodded and continued:
"Before the engineers move in, do another security inspection, business competition."
He emphasized this matter again, just to make Gascoigne and others vigilant.
He didn't believe even a single punctuation mark about the integrity of foreigners.
In the past year or two, the changes in Hong Kong Island have also been noticed by the outside world.
Not only is the safety on the streets better, but also because the business environment here has improved a lot.
This is a virtuous circle.
As the business environment improves, more foreign capital will be attracted to the small city of Hong Kong Island.
Even after many tourists come to Hong Kong Island, some of them will more or less stay and apply to join Hong Kong Island.
Based on this background, business competition will only become more and more intense.
Especially large companies like Rolls-Royce need to pay close attention to possible underhanded moves by their competitors.
"Boss, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task meticulously"
Over the years, Gascoigne and others gradually became familiar with the boss's character.
Fear of death, vicious vision, richness, generosity, etc. are almost all necessary labels for a leader.
After visiting the R&D center, it took many years before I left here.
Then he went to the Mingyue Novels and Books office. As soon as he entered the elevator, he saw Liang Jiayun, the young lady at the front desk.
"Mr. Xu, hello!"
Liang Jiayun shook off her husband Zhou Jifa's hand with a red face and said shyly.
The latter was a little angry at first, but when he looked up and saw that it was many years later, he suddenly said with surprise and excitement:
"You were the one who saved me last year, right? I remember you, you are"
"You are in Year Y, no, you are an arsonist. I especially like your Deer and Cauldron."
His incoherent appearance really made me smile for many years.
Last year, Zhou Jifa was kidnapped by a gangster who wanted to rob him of his 6 yuan royalties, and also wanted him to hand over subsequent royalties.
If he is really controlled by the gangsters in the club, his future life will definitely be dark and terrifying.
Fortunately, he was lucky and happened to meet him many years ago. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it again."
Many Years shook his head, "Are you together?"
One sentence immediately made Liang Jiayun and Zhou Jifa blush. The former also knew that many years was not only the author, but also one of her bosses.
Moreover, other shareholders have never appeared in the company, but have visited from time to time for many years.
So, in comparison, many years are the big bosses.
Although the two of them didn't say a word, they looked down and blushed shyly, as if they had been answering for many years.
"Have you received the certificate? You've put the ring on. Could it be that the wedding reception has already been held? Why didn't you send me an invitation?"
"Mr. Xu, me"
Zhou Jifa didn't know how to explain it. After all, he was just an ordinary writer. He didn't know where he had lived for many years. How could he send an invitation?
After many years, he gave up and said:
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I have to go up. Do you want to go out? Go quickly."
"Okay, Mr. Xu, let's go first."
After waiting for the elevator to go up, Zhou Jifa and Liang Jiayun breathed out a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but both of them felt a lot of pressure after facing many years.
Soon, the two of them quickly left the office building. When they came to the street, Zhou Jifa started talking about what happened just now.
"Ah Yun, how much money do you think he makes? I don't know when I will be like him."
As they are both authors, Zhou Jifa can of course roughly calculate how much royalties he has earned over many years, but he has also sold a lot of copyrights, which he cannot compare with.
Moreover, in comparison, it takes him half a year to write a novel, but how many years does it take others?
High yield is like a sow, how to compare?
Not to mention that he has directly invested in the company based on his novels for many years. These are not things that ordinary writers can do.
"Let's talk about this later when you can update two novels at the same time."
Liang Jiayun rolled her eyes at him, and then comforted him:
"But don't be discouraged. Although you are not serialized on the main page now, you still earn [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars in royalties every month, which is already more than many people."
"Don't I want to buy a villa and a sports car?"
"I'm very satisfied with the big house of more than 100 square meters that we live in now. Don't push yourself so hard."
There are many good girls nowadays who are content and happy.
For Liang Jiayun, marrying Zhou Jifa was indeed the right choice.
Because Dakoufa is an otaku with a very clear goal.
After earning royalties last year, I bought a house and a car, and got married by the way.
He saved all the royalties he earned in the following year and did not spend them randomly.
And he eats with Liang Jiayun every day, because his home is next to the office building of Mingyue Novels and Books, less than 10 minutes' walk.
Only when Liang Jiayun is on vacation, the two of them will go back to see their mother's family or husband's family.
"Okay, okay, I see!"
Although Zhou Jifa said this, his attitude was somewhat perfunctory. It was obvious that he still wanted to do better and get more.
Mingyue Novels, Books, and the boss's office have called Wu Xiuqing over for many years.
The latter is reporting on the company's operations. This is a work rule that he will come to the office every once in a while and for many years.
Nowadays, the development of novel books and periodicals has been very stable.
There were several big moves last year, but eleven months have passed this year, but there have been no moves.
As the end of the year approaches, I have thought about it for many years and decided to let them give it a try.
"Take the legend of a mortal cultivating immortality as an example, and open a column in the category of immortals"
After more than a year of development, it is time to launch a big wave of Xianxia novels.
It is impossible to keep writing novels for many years. In the future, his attention will definitely be more on his family.
In addition, if I have time, I will focus on my own interests and hobbies.
Novels in the category of fairy novels are definitely the most popular novels in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and East Asia in the past year or two.
Due to the huge world view and exciting plot of the novel, many readers have been following it.
The novels published together, a book of 20 words, have been published continuously for more than ten books.
What's interesting is that starting from the third book, which is the plot after entering Yellow Maple Valley, this book has been printed to more than 300 million copies, which is much more than the first and second books, which only had more than 100 million copies.
The first 40 words are about martial arts descriptions, but not so many readers like it.
Among the readers of more than 100 million copies, more are concentrated in Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island and other places.
On the contrary, the third book with more than 300 million copies has been sold everywhere, not only in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also in Garden City, Medan, the Malay Peninsula, Korea, Tokyo and other places.
Many people not only followed the update, but were so angry at the broken chapters in the serialization that they gritted their teeth and turned away to buy a book and read it again.
Based on this, it took many years before I would think of opening a new column and another million-dollar creation contest.
But it’s not HK$100 million, but HK$500 million.
"Xianxia novels are a field of novels with many themes and are constantly innovating to reflect the huge world of Xianxia."
After a pause, he went on to say:
"In two days, I will write a creative guide book specifically about the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the level of cultivation of immortals."
When Wu Xiuqing heard this, he immediately stopped writing and said:
"Boss, you really take care of these new authors, don't you? And you are so selfless, don't you give your competitors an advantage?"
"You are so petty!"
Many years suddenly laughed and said:
"Don't talk about those competitors. They are currently half-dead. Even if they surpass Mingyue Novels and Books, is there nothing I can do?"
"Only when the cake gets bigger can we eat more, and if we eat the biggest piece, it will be enough to stretch us..."
It’s not that he looks down on the writers of this era, but the current environment in Hong Kong is very different from the original time and space.
Wireless TV was established in [-], and the popularity of televisions only slowly began in the past two years.
But in the entire Hong Kong Island, there are very few families with TV sets!
In other words, today’s entertainment methods are very poor!
And reading novels is definitely one of the main entertainment activities for ordinary people at present.
Under such circumstances, it has been necessary to pursue the victory for many years to reach a peak in novel creation.
After all, after entering the 70s, it was the world of TV series, movies, etc.
Times are developing, and technological products are being updated very rapidly.
If we don't hurry up, will we have to wait for others to declare the novel dead?
Especially after entering the 80s, Hong Kong's economy took off and the entertainment industry developed rapidly. At some point, many people would be able to afford TV sets.
Watching TV series is free, and the most you have to pay is the electricity bill.
On the contrary, the amount of money required to read novels is not small.
For example, the current Mingyue Novels books and periodicals are priced at one dollar and ninety-eight cents, which many people cannot afford.
Because if you buy it every day, you will spend at least more than 50 yuan per month reading books.
The actual situation is that many people join together to buy it. For example, two or more people take turns buying it, and then after reading it, they show it to the next person.
After all, spending more than 50 yuan a month is unaffordable for many people.
Wu Xiuqing admires the pattern of many years very much.
Even though she couldn't understand it, it was just right to follow it.
Soon, in mid-to-late November, the matter of soliciting essays for Xianxia novels started to ferment in Hong Kong Island.
Traditional Chinese gathering areas such as Tokyo, Medan, Hancheng, and the Malay Peninsula are also boiling with excitement.
In this era, many people's ability to survive is average.
Although it may seem like many people are doing well, many more are earning average wages.
Therefore, no one is willing to give up an opportunity like the Xianxia novel essay contest.
Even writers like Zhou Jifa are ready to take action.
In Tsim Sha Tsui, in a high-rise building next to the Peninsula Hotel, Wang Quanhui was sitting on the sofa reading Zhongyong Daily when he suddenly sat upright.
"Xianxia novel essay competition? 500 million prize money?"
Seeing this game, he immediately smiled.
"This time, I will get No. 1 no matter what!"
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
From the kitchen, a waxy voice came over, and as the kitchen door opened, a petite figure appeared.
"Xiao Min, why are you running to the kitchen again? Didn't I tell your sister-in-law to be responsible for cooking?"
Following Wang Quanhui's voice, another female voice sounded from the kitchen.
"Ah Hui, don't worry, I'm the one doing the cooking, Xiao Min didn't do anything."
They are a family of three who have a very good relationship and a clear division of labor.
Wang Xiaomin is in frail health. If her brother hadn't made money by writing novels last year and asked her to go to the hospital for treatment, she would have left.
Even if she is cured now, she still needs to rest and not be too tired.
Therefore, she will not be allowed to touch any work at home.
Her sister-in-law is Lu Jingyao, a gentle girl who is childhood sweethearts with her brother.
Last year at Kowloon Walled City, it was less than a year since their family of three came to Hong Kong Island.
Since he was uneducated, Wang Quanhui could only do some hard work by himself.
But what is Kowloon Walled City?
So Wang Quanhui had to deal with those bad guys, and later he had no choice but to join a gang.
However, due to various reasons, Wang Quanhui had to quit the gang.
Later, a newspaper was snatched away, and it was this newspaper that gave Wang Quanhui hope.
Through difficult novel creation, his novel was published in Mingyue Novels and ranked No. 9 on the monthly popular list.
Although No. 9 is already very powerful, Wang Quanhui still wants a higher ranking, but he really can't win.
Wang Quanhui received more than 60 yuan in royalties in the first month, ten times as much as Zhou Jifa, who ranked last in monthly votes.
After receiving the royalties, Wang Quanhui immediately sent his sister to the hospital for treatment.
But the good times didn't last long. Before he even came out of the hospital, the original gang sent someone over.
Hong Kong Island is too small to keep secrets.
Therefore, the news that Wang Quanhui made a lot of money from writing novels quickly spread throughout the Kowloon Walled City.
However, just when Wang Quanhui was preparing to fight to the death, a piece of news came.
Various societies suffered severe crackdowns, and writers of Mingyue Novels and Books were protected by the company.
The gang that wanted to cut off Hu Wang Quanhui's royalties also disappeared overnight in the Kowloon Walled City.
Although the Kowloon Walled City is protected by a King of Dark Night, the Governor has to kneel when he comes.
Unfortunately, only a quarter of the Hong Kong Island Police Force came, and the Kowloon Walled City fell to its knees.
There are more than 2 police officers on Hong Kong Island, including uniformed police, Flying Tigers, administrative departments, etc.
A quarter of the people came, which means more than 5000 people came.
Among them were hundreds of high-ranking Gui Lao people.
With so many people surrounding the Kowloon Walled City, the King of the Night has become a complete joke.
He was arrested by the police and sent to jail in Stanley to retire early.
(End of this chapter)
Time flies like the sand between your fingers.
The water of Xiangjiang River flows slowly, but no one knows that under the calm surface of the river, there are full of undercurrents.
In the circle of Chinese wealthy people, everyone knows one thing, that is, the novelist Arsonist, who has emerged in the past two years, bought the villa No. 43 on Barker Road.
Although it only cost HK$500 million, it should not be underestimated.
Many wealthy Chinese businessmen are very surprised: How can someone who writes novels be so rich?
Many people investigated carefully and found out more detailed information.
First of all, this sweetheart arsonist is the same person as Yi Nian, and his real name is Duan Nian.
Secondly, this person was an employee of China Resources for many years, but I heard that he resigned this year.
Finally, for many years, I not only owned two houses in Deep Water Bay, but also purchased a piece of land in Tuen Mun at a low price and turned it into a farm.
Although Tuen Mun is far away from the city, the land is really big.
Many Chinese-funded bosses now know that they have been a dragon for many years. They seem to have little capital, but they are actually very rich and have extraordinary backgrounds.
Not mentioning China Resources Corporation, just taking over the land in Tuen Mun is beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone No. 43 Barker Road.
Do you really think that you can buy the house at No. 43 Barker Road with just money?
It’s impossible without some British background behind it!
However, the Chinese-funded bosses did not find out what the specific situation was.
They only knew that he had invested in New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily for many years, but they did not know what his relationship was with the major shareholders of these two newspaper companies.
I don’t even know how powerful the energy behind the major shareholders is.
In short, in these many years, one should not be provoked, it is best to win them over and use them for their own use.
Therefore, entering October, I have received invitations from Chinese-funded bigwigs such as Huang Jiacheng, Huo Jiandong, and Xu Jichang for many years.
Since I want to hang out in Hong Kong Island, I don't mind chatting with these big guys for many years.
Although he has looked down on wealthy people like Huang Jiacheng who got their start in real estate for many years, this does not prevent him from establishing good relations with these people.
Rolls-Royce will need to build more employee houses in the future to solve the housing problem.
Today's Hong Kong Island, in fact, is still very chaotic in most areas.
Although the club has been suppressed by the Hong Kong Island police and no longer causes trouble, petty thefts and the like still exist.
Therefore, these scum cannot be allowed to destroy this harmonious society for many years.
When I met Huo Jiandong, I looked at the 44-year-old middle-aged man in front of me with endless emotion in my heart.
They are the real ruthless people and winners in life.
When he was still very young, Huo Jiandong worked as a coal burner on a ship, an apprentice in a sugar factory, a coolie building an airport, opened a small grocery store, etc. His life experience was extremely rich.
In [-], he founded Lixin Real Estate Company and began to enter the real estate industry.
Nowadays, the industry is spread all over Southeast Asia, involving real estate, shipping industry, etc., and he is also the president of the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce.
In the original time and space, when Huo Jiandong passed away, the state held a funeral for him.
This is not a state funeral that ordinary people can enjoy.
"Mr. Huo, I have long admired your name."
For many years, these words came from the heartfelt admiration. As everyone knows, Huo Jiandong also admired him very much.
"Mr. Xu, although I am 14 years older than you, my meager achievements are really not worth mentioning in front of you."
"Funny"
The two greeted each other politely, and then treated each other as brothers. For many years, at the age of 30, he could only be a younger brother.
Huo Jiandong didn't know where he got the information, but he actually knew that he had won three first-class merit medals in many years, which was definitely not something ordinary people could possess.
Therefore, Huo Jiandong admires Huo Jiandong very much, especially after the latter came to Hong Kong Island, he published so many novels and made several remarks.
He admired educated people the most in his life. After all, he was studying at Huangren School, but he dropped out of school early because of the Anti-Japanese War.
It can be said that he suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated, so he has been self-study over the years and has not stopped learning.
We chatted politely for more than an hour, which was basically just small talk and nothing substantive.
It’s no surprise that trust has been built up step by step over many years.
The two made an appointment to play football together next time. Huo Jiandong liked this sport better.
In later generations, Huo Jiandong indeed worked hard for the country's sports undertakings all his life. For example, when Beijing was bidding to host the Olympic Games, he contributed a lot.
After the successful bid, he donated [-] million yuan.
That's [-] million in the millennium, not [-] in [-].
After returning to Deep Water Bay, he spent many years thinking that he was not very good at playing football.
However, he is a fast runner and has very good endurance.
As for football skills, let’s do some surprise training.
In the following days, I visited the homes of Huang Jiacheng and other bosses for many years.
After some chatting, I found out that these big guys are either here at Deep Water Bay, or halfway up the mountain in Central, such as some streets near Garden Road.
Either it is in Repulse Bay, which is a place with better scenery on Hong Kong Island.
Huang Jiacheng and the others will not participate in playing football. After all, Huo Jiandong organized it.
On the contrary, it was Huang Jiacheng and others who suggested playing golf. They were speechless for many years. What is so good about this kind of sport?
Finally, I suggested going to see the racecourse, it’s close anyway.
In fact, whether it is a horse racing track, a golf course, or a football field, they are all very close.
The closest one is the golf course, which is right next to Deep Water Bay, only two or three kilometers away.
To be honest, he has not been interested in these social interactions for many years, but he is not alone.
So when you go out, it’s good to take the little ones out too, not only to gain some insights, but at least to learn one more skill.
To enrich children's spare time life, they can't just run to the farm all day long, right?
That afternoon, I brought Xiaodoubao and the others to the football field next to Wan Chai. The venue was large, the sky was blue and the weather was very good.
One for adults and one for children.
Huo Jiandong's ancestral home is Panyu, and most of the rich people who come to his football club are from places like Baiyun City.
For many years I only played football and didn't chat with anyone else.
On the other hand, the ladies group were chatting while watching those little brats playing football.
Qin Huairu had no idea that she was the one who was envied, jealous, and hated by many wives.
"Mrs. Xu, your skin is so good, isn't it? Oh, is it all thanks to Mr. Qi? Haha, we all understand."
Although a group of rich ladies are pampered, they are also quite explicit when they speak.
This made Qin Huairu feel like she had returned to No. 95 Nanluogu Lane in the capital. It seemed that at that time, neighbors like Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang were also so explicit.
She hurriedly explained, saying that it was some beauty lotion her man had made for her, as well as good work, rest, eating habits, etc.
Lu Yanni, Feng Jianni and others, who originally wanted to continue joking, stopped talking and continued to dig deeper.
If it is possible, they naturally hope to stay young forever.
Feng Jianni was born in 29 and was Huo Jiandong's first love. She is [-] years old this year.
Not to mention Lu Yanni, who is the same age as Huo Jiandong and is 44 years old this year, showing her age.
As for the other wives, they are all no less than 30 years old, so who doesn’t want to be like Qin Huairu?
Based on this situation, they are very attentive.
After all, Qin Huairu and Feng Jianni are the same age, but the former looks just eighteen or nineteen years old, just like a girl.
On the contrary, although the latter's maintenance is not bad, it is about the same as a 24-year-old young man, and it still looks older.
And her skin, figure, etc. are not as good as Qin Huairu.
A group of women discuss the topic of skin care, but there is no end to it.
On the field, Xiaodoubao and the others are playing football, so they don't want to have too much fun.
They train with their father every day, but this is their first time playing football with a team.
On weekdays, I just play a few balls at home.
After all, they have no shortage of sports, such as basketball, tennis, etc.
"Quick, pass the ball to me!"
The little boy ran very fast, dribbling the ball directly to the penalty area. After getting close, he shot directly.
bingo!
The goalkeeper was a little boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was covering his hand and was speechless in pain.
After everyone cheered, they realized something was wrong.
Something happened here. The adults' group and the ladies' group in the rest area also rushed over to check.
After running very fast for many years, I soon arrived at the venue for the children's group. I felt a little relieved when I saw that it was not my child who had an accident.
But soon, it was heard that the little one kicked the ball too hard, which caused the goalkeeper to be injured.
Several children were talking in a hurry, and they were speechless for many years. They quickly pushed the children aside, and then they saw the goalkeeper child.
The child's name is Ma Zhuoqun. He is about 1.5 or [-] years old. He is almost [-] meters tall, so he is just average.
His hands were red, probably because he didn't wear gloves when he was the goalkeeper.
"Xiaodoubao, go find your mother and get the car keys. We have a first aid kit in the car."
"I am coming too!"
Xiaotuanzi ran out after him, and then Huo Jiandong and the others surrounded him.
Seeing Ma Zhuoqun's hand, Huo Jiandong and the others took a deep breath, and then looked at the little one in surprise.
The little one, who is only seven years old this year, can't help but feel a little shy when being stared at by so many adults.
He was not afraid, nor did he think how rich these rich people were. Anyway, the little one thought his family was richer.
"A-Nian, is your son as strong as you?"
Huo Jiandong asked in surprise, smiling and nodding:
"Yes, this kid is full of brute strength, but he just doesn't know how to control it."
hiss!
Lu Yanni and others who came later also looked at it in surprise.
Soon, everyone knew what was going on. After the two sisters Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi brought over the first aid kit, they watched Duan Nian treat Ma Zhuoqun's wounds.
Feng Jianni in the crowd couldn't help but said bitterly to Qin Huairu:
"Mrs. Xu, you really have found a treasure. Look at your husband. He is so kind to you and your children. I admit that he can make money. He is actually proficient in medical skills. Tsk tsk."
It is said that comparing people with each other can make people angry. After many years of comparison, Huo Jiandong was naturally a little helpless.
Therefore, it is quite normal for Feng Jianni to be such a lemon.
What makes Feng Jianni envious the most is the love she has had with Qin Huairu for many years.
Among the many rich people present, it is rare for someone like Huo Jiandong to have only two wives.
It is said that men become bad when they are rich. Huo Jiandong and other rich people perfectly interpret this sentence.
On the contrary, it has not deteriorated after many years, and the relationship with Qin Huairu has remained as before.
As for whether Feng Jianni and others believe that they have really been careless for many years, does it matter?
The army of wives are not fools, who can’t see it with a discerning eye?
And during the chat with Qin Huairu, they also heard that he has been basically a homebody for many years, whether in the capital or on Hong Kong Island.
If there were people out there for many years, that would not be the case at all.
It can even be said that most of his time for many years was given to Qin Huairu and his children, and he had very little personal time.
Under such circumstances, it would be damning if he could still have someone outside.
"Mrs. Huo, you are so humble."
Qin Huairu said modestly. At this time, she felt sweet but also couldn't help but worry.
Soon, it took many years for the child Ma Zhuoqun to heal his wounds.
"Don't touch the water with your hands for the next twelve hours. It can be removed early tomorrow morning. Rest for about a week and it will be almost ready."
He applied the special ointment evenly, added some Chinese medicine and applied it together, and then bandaged it.
After giving instructions, he looked at Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi and said:
"How was it? What did you learn just now?"
Huo Jiandong and others were immediately surprised. Is this on-site teaching?
Gee!
Is this how you have been teaching by words and deeds for many years?
No wonder his children are so smart and know a lot.
While listening to Xiaodoubao Xiaotuanzi and the others talking incessantly, Huo Jiandong, Lu Yanni and others were very confused because they couldn't quite understand.
Medical knowledge seems simple, but in fact it is much more complex.
The two children have been studying Chinese medicine since they were young. Now they are eight years old and have mastered a lot of pharmacological and medical knowledge.
Some simple knowledge points are no longer difficult for them.
Injuries like this are actually very simple. The difficulty lies in how to judge how serious the injury is.
After all, the two of them had no experience in treating children, so they could only rely on the knowledge they had learned before and briefly talk about pharmacology.
"Yes, you are on to the point. This shows that you did not learn in vain."
Huo Jiandong, who was next to him, pulled his sons aside and began to give instructions.
Ma Zhuoqun and other children were also pulled aside by their father and scolded.
Compared with the children of the Xu family, Huo Jiandong felt that the gap between his own children was too big.
A good friendly football match ended up being a cup-loading scene for many years.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed true.
In the evening, at No. 72 Deep Water Bay, Qin Huairu pulled Duan Nian aside and chatted about today's events.
"Do you know how many wives those people have?"
"I know."
After hearing this for many years, he immediately understood what Qin Huairu meant and said with a smile:
"It's not our first day here in Hong Kong. There are many wealthy people here marrying two or three wives. It's normal. And from a legal perspective, polygamy is still legal."
She bit her lip as if holding something in, and after a while she said:
"Then why don't you marry another one."
puff!
Her brain circuit is really amazing.
Bang!
After many years, he flicked her smooth forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? Our family is very good now. If there is an extra concubine, how can this family still be peaceful?"
"Besides, who do you think I am? If I were really that kind of person, do you think I would wait until this time?"
"Not to mention anything else, when I was in the capital, didn't I often come to Hong Kong Island for business trips? If I really had other thoughts, I would have given you a sister long ago."
Confucius said, food and color are also the nature of food.
The nature of men, or the bad nature of men, is to become bad when they have money, regardless of men and women, it is the same.
It's just that as a person who has traveled through time from later generations many years ago, his thoughts are very simple.
Wife and children are hot on the kang!
The simpler life is, the better.
Compared to having a few aunts and wives, or having a big ocean horse, he would definitely prefer to travel through mountains, rivers, lakes, and see all the beautiful scenery in the world.
Nowadays, it is impossible to travel domestically, but it is still possible abroad.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to all the trouble to come to Maodong on Hong Kong Island.
When Qin Huairu heard this, her pretty face turned red and she muttered:
“I just think everyone”
People are social animals. When she was in the capital, she just felt that she was married to a good man.
However, after coming to Hong Kong Island, things were completely different.
Through newspapers and neighbors, I know that the rich on Hong Kong Island are basically polygamous.
Not to mention the distance, Huang Shitong, my neighbor, is 63 years old. Doesn’t he also have a third wife?
There are also two people, Qian Yutong and Ye Lingfeng. Their men are also lustful people who rent two or three bedrooms outside.
Some people dare to take them home, while others secretly keep them outside.
These are basically bad habits inherited from the previous dynasty.
Affected by this, Qin Huairu felt secretly happy and felt that she should be more "generous".
But he didn't expect to be reprimanded for many years.
"Okay, don't mention this again."
Many Years interrupted without hesitation:
"What other people do has nothing to do with us. We respect other people's lives, but we don't want to follow others' opinions. Just live your own little life."
Qin Huairu was still very obedient. Since her man said not to mention it again, she stopped mentioning it.
But deep down, I was very moved.
After this incident, she became more convinced that she had found a good man, and she became more gentle and obedient to him.
Time flies, and after October, November is coming.After entering November, the weather in Hong Kong Island finally changed slightly.
The temperature has dropped to around ten degrees, so I have to wear two layers of clothes when going out.
After many years of driving away from Deep Water Bay, I was going to go to Rolls-Royce to check on the progress of the project.
It has been more than a year since the construction of the R&D center started last year, but the decoration has not yet been completed. The progress is somewhat slow.
After entering Pok Fu Lam Road, from a distance, I have seen the bullet-shaped building in front of me for many years, which looks like a landmark building.
Unfortunately, this is Pok Fu Lam Road, not on the Central side.
As a designer at the R&D center, I have been quite satisfied with the works I have designed for many years.
When the security guard at the door saw the Rolls-Royce, he stepped forward to confirm before allowing the car to pass.
No matter who wants to enter the R&D center, they must confirm their identity.
This has been an order for many years, and no one dares to disobey it.
The current R&D center has completed the capping of the building and interior decoration has begun.
At this point, it is even more important to ensure the safety of the R&D center.
After all, it is a research and development institution, and it must not allow others to take advantage of it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair if technical materials were stolen?
The eavesdropping technology of the 60s was already quite impressive. We can't expect other people's eavesdropping equipment to have already entered the scene before the engineers have settled in, right?
Not to mention anything else, in 1960, Bald Eagle's two departments, the CIA and the National Security Bureau, jointly executed a secret operation code-named "Ivy Bells."
A Halibut nuclear submarine appeared on the sea floor of Okhotsk, installed bugs on polar bear communication cables, and connected audio tapes to conduct eavesdropping for 10 years.
After obtaining a large amount of key information such as the detailed deployment plan, performance, and nuclear submarine technology of the Polar Bear nuclear missile, the Bald Eagle gained the initiative in the Conference on Disarmament and influenced the pattern of the Cold War.
And in the 90s, the bald eagle dealt a cruel blow to Airbus, the Gallic chicken company, and snatched away a large order worth US$60 billion.
Originally, a certain tycoon in the Middle East was planning to purchase commercial airliners from Airbus, and Boeing, which was also a competitor, was of course very jealous.
After all, in the field of commercial passenger aircraft, Airbus and Boeing have been rivals for many years.
Coincidentally, Bald Eagle's National Security Bureau has been carefully focusing on the eavesdropping industry for many years. By the way, it eavesdropped on faxes and phone calls between Middle Eastern tycoons and airlines, and obtained very critical bidding information.
The outrageous operation came, and the National Security Bureau actually sold this information to Boeing, and then won the order without any suspense.
There are many, many scandals about eavesdropping, such as the future "Prism" project, "Angle of Anger" project, "Operation Telescreen", "Starwind" project and so on.
Therefore, of course, we need to be very vigilant about these gadgets for many years.
"Boss, the decoration work will be completed in half a month. Offices and chairs will be available in advance by then."
Gascoigne, Robert and others had been waiting for him for a long time. After seeing him for many years, they hurriedly came forward to report.
“Very good, very good!”
Many Years nodded and continued:
"Before the engineers move in, do another security inspection, business competition."
He emphasized this matter again, just to make Gascoigne and others vigilant.
He didn't believe even a single punctuation mark about the integrity of foreigners.
In the past year or two, the changes in Hong Kong Island have also been noticed by the outside world.
Not only is the safety on the streets better, but also because the business environment here has improved a lot.
This is a virtuous circle.
As the business environment improves, more foreign capital will be attracted to the small city of Hong Kong Island.
Even after many tourists come to Hong Kong Island, some of them will more or less stay and apply to join Hong Kong Island.
Based on this background, business competition will only become more and more intense.
Especially large companies like Rolls-Royce need to pay close attention to possible underhanded moves by their competitors.
"Boss, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task meticulously"
Over the years, Gascoigne and others gradually became familiar with the boss's character.
Fear of death, vicious vision, richness, generosity, etc. are almost all necessary labels for a leader.
After visiting the R&D center, it took many years before I left here.
Then he went to the Mingyue Novels and Books office. As soon as he entered the elevator, he saw Liang Jiayun, the young lady at the front desk.
"Mr. Xu, hello!"
Liang Jiayun shook off her husband Zhou Jifa's hand with a red face and said shyly.
The latter was a little angry at first, but when he looked up and saw that it was many years later, he suddenly said with surprise and excitement:
"You were the one who saved me last year, right? I remember you, you are"
"You are in Year Y, no, you are an arsonist. I especially like your Deer and Cauldron."
His incoherent appearance really made me smile for many years.
Last year, Zhou Jifa was kidnapped by a gangster who wanted to rob him of his 6 yuan royalties, and also wanted him to hand over subsequent royalties.
If he is really controlled by the gangsters in the club, his future life will definitely be dark and terrifying.
Fortunately, he was lucky and happened to meet him many years ago. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it again."
Many Years shook his head, "Are you together?"
One sentence immediately made Liang Jiayun and Zhou Jifa blush. The former also knew that many years was not only the author, but also one of her bosses.
Moreover, other shareholders have never appeared in the company, but have visited from time to time for many years.
So, in comparison, many years are the big bosses.
Although the two of them didn't say a word, they looked down and blushed shyly, as if they had been answering for many years.
"Have you received the certificate? You've put the ring on. Could it be that the wedding reception has already been held? Why didn't you send me an invitation?"
"Mr. Xu, me"
Zhou Jifa didn't know how to explain it. After all, he was just an ordinary writer. He didn't know where he had lived for many years. How could he send an invitation?
After many years, he gave up and said:
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I have to go up. Do you want to go out? Go quickly."
"Okay, Mr. Xu, let's go first."
After waiting for the elevator to go up, Zhou Jifa and Liang Jiayun breathed out a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but both of them felt a lot of pressure after facing many years.
Soon, the two of them quickly left the office building. When they came to the street, Zhou Jifa started talking about what happened just now.
"Ah Yun, how much money do you think he makes? I don't know when I will be like him."
As they are both authors, Zhou Jifa can of course roughly calculate how much royalties he has earned over many years, but he has also sold a lot of copyrights, which he cannot compare with.
Moreover, in comparison, it takes him half a year to write a novel, but how many years does it take others?
High yield is like a sow, how to compare?
Not to mention that he has directly invested in the company based on his novels for many years. These are not things that ordinary writers can do.
"Let's talk about this later when you can update two novels at the same time."
Liang Jiayun rolled her eyes at him, and then comforted him:
"But don't be discouraged. Although you are not serialized on the main page now, you still earn [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars in royalties every month, which is already more than many people."
"Don't I want to buy a villa and a sports car?"
"I'm very satisfied with the big house of more than 100 square meters that we live in now. Don't push yourself so hard."
There are many good girls nowadays who are content and happy.
For Liang Jiayun, marrying Zhou Jifa was indeed the right choice.
Because Dakoufa is an otaku with a very clear goal.
After earning royalties last year, I bought a house and a car, and got married by the way.
He saved all the royalties he earned in the following year and did not spend them randomly.
And he eats with Liang Jiayun every day, because his home is next to the office building of Mingyue Novels and Books, less than 10 minutes' walk.
Only when Liang Jiayun is on vacation, the two of them will go back to see their mother's family or husband's family.
"Okay, okay, I see!"
Although Zhou Jifa said this, his attitude was somewhat perfunctory. It was obvious that he still wanted to do better and get more.
Mingyue Novels, Books, and the boss's office have called Wu Xiuqing over for many years.
The latter is reporting on the company's operations. This is a work rule that he will come to the office every once in a while and for many years.
Nowadays, the development of novel books and periodicals has been very stable.
There were several big moves last year, but eleven months have passed this year, but there have been no moves.
As the end of the year approaches, I have thought about it for many years and decided to let them give it a try.
"Take the legend of a mortal cultivating immortality as an example, and open a column in the category of immortals"
After more than a year of development, it is time to launch a big wave of Xianxia novels.
It is impossible to keep writing novels for many years. In the future, his attention will definitely be more on his family.
In addition, if I have time, I will focus on my own interests and hobbies.
Novels in the category of fairy novels are definitely the most popular novels in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and East Asia in the past year or two.
Due to the huge world view and exciting plot of the novel, many readers have been following it.
The novels published together, a book of 20 words, have been published continuously for more than ten books.
What's interesting is that starting from the third book, which is the plot after entering Yellow Maple Valley, this book has been printed to more than 300 million copies, which is much more than the first and second books, which only had more than 100 million copies.
The first 40 words are about martial arts descriptions, but not so many readers like it.
Among the readers of more than 100 million copies, more are concentrated in Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island and other places.
On the contrary, the third book with more than 300 million copies has been sold everywhere, not only in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also in Garden City, Medan, the Malay Peninsula, Korea, Tokyo and other places.
Many people not only followed the update, but were so angry at the broken chapters in the serialization that they gritted their teeth and turned away to buy a book and read it again.
Based on this, it took many years before I would think of opening a new column and another million-dollar creation contest.
But it’s not HK$100 million, but HK$500 million.
"Xianxia novels are a field of novels with many themes and are constantly innovating to reflect the huge world of Xianxia."
After a pause, he went on to say:
"In two days, I will write a creative guide book specifically about the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the level of cultivation of immortals."
When Wu Xiuqing heard this, he immediately stopped writing and said:
"Boss, you really take care of these new authors, don't you? And you are so selfless, don't you give your competitors an advantage?"
"You are so petty!"
Many years suddenly laughed and said:
"Don't talk about those competitors. They are currently half-dead. Even if they surpass Mingyue Novels and Books, is there nothing I can do?"
"Only when the cake gets bigger can we eat more, and if we eat the biggest piece, it will be enough to stretch us..."
It’s not that he looks down on the writers of this era, but the current environment in Hong Kong is very different from the original time and space.
Wireless TV was established in [-], and the popularity of televisions only slowly began in the past two years.
But in the entire Hong Kong Island, there are very few families with TV sets!
In other words, today’s entertainment methods are very poor!
And reading novels is definitely one of the main entertainment activities for ordinary people at present.
Under such circumstances, it has been necessary to pursue the victory for many years to reach a peak in novel creation.
After all, after entering the 70s, it was the world of TV series, movies, etc.
Times are developing, and technological products are being updated very rapidly.
If we don't hurry up, will we have to wait for others to declare the novel dead?
Especially after entering the 80s, Hong Kong's economy took off and the entertainment industry developed rapidly. At some point, many people would be able to afford TV sets.
Watching TV series is free, and the most you have to pay is the electricity bill.
On the contrary, the amount of money required to read novels is not small.
For example, the current Mingyue Novels books and periodicals are priced at one dollar and ninety-eight cents, which many people cannot afford.
Because if you buy it every day, you will spend at least more than 50 yuan per month reading books.
The actual situation is that many people join together to buy it. For example, two or more people take turns buying it, and then after reading it, they show it to the next person.
After all, spending more than 50 yuan a month is unaffordable for many people.
Wu Xiuqing admires the pattern of many years very much.
Even though she couldn't understand it, it was just right to follow it.
Soon, in mid-to-late November, the matter of soliciting essays for Xianxia novels started to ferment in Hong Kong Island.
Traditional Chinese gathering areas such as Tokyo, Medan, Hancheng, and the Malay Peninsula are also boiling with excitement.
In this era, many people's ability to survive is average.
Although it may seem like many people are doing well, many more are earning average wages.
Therefore, no one is willing to give up an opportunity like the Xianxia novel essay contest.
Even writers like Zhou Jifa are ready to take action.
In Tsim Sha Tsui, in a high-rise building next to the Peninsula Hotel, Wang Quanhui was sitting on the sofa reading Zhongyong Daily when he suddenly sat upright.
"Xianxia novel essay competition? 500 million prize money?"
Seeing this game, he immediately smiled.
"This time, I will get No. 1 no matter what!"
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
From the kitchen, a waxy voice came over, and as the kitchen door opened, a petite figure appeared.
"Xiao Min, why are you running to the kitchen again? Didn't I tell your sister-in-law to be responsible for cooking?"
Following Wang Quanhui's voice, another female voice sounded from the kitchen.
"Ah Hui, don't worry, I'm the one doing the cooking, Xiao Min didn't do anything."
They are a family of three who have a very good relationship and a clear division of labor.
Wang Xiaomin is in frail health. If her brother hadn't made money by writing novels last year and asked her to go to the hospital for treatment, she would have left.
Even if she is cured now, she still needs to rest and not be too tired.
Therefore, she will not be allowed to touch any work at home.
Her sister-in-law is Lu Jingyao, a gentle girl who is childhood sweethearts with her brother.
Last year at Kowloon Walled City, it was less than a year since their family of three came to Hong Kong Island.
Since he was uneducated, Wang Quanhui could only do some hard work by himself.
But what is Kowloon Walled City?
So Wang Quanhui had to deal with those bad guys, and later he had no choice but to join a gang.
However, due to various reasons, Wang Quanhui had to quit the gang.
Later, a newspaper was snatched away, and it was this newspaper that gave Wang Quanhui hope.
Through difficult novel creation, his novel was published in Mingyue Novels and ranked No. 9 on the monthly popular list.
Although No. 9 is already very powerful, Wang Quanhui still wants a higher ranking, but he really can't win.
Wang Quanhui received more than 60 yuan in royalties in the first month, ten times as much as Zhou Jifa, who ranked last in monthly votes.
After receiving the royalties, Wang Quanhui immediately sent his sister to the hospital for treatment.
But the good times didn't last long. Before he even came out of the hospital, the original gang sent someone over.
Hong Kong Island is too small to keep secrets.
Therefore, the news that Wang Quanhui made a lot of money from writing novels quickly spread throughout the Kowloon Walled City.
However, just when Wang Quanhui was preparing to fight to the death, a piece of news came.
Various societies suffered severe crackdowns, and writers of Mingyue Novels and Books were protected by the company.
The gang that wanted to cut off Hu Wang Quanhui's royalties also disappeared overnight in the Kowloon Walled City.
Although the Kowloon Walled City is protected by a King of Dark Night, the Governor has to kneel when he comes.
Unfortunately, only a quarter of the Hong Kong Island Police Force came, and the Kowloon Walled City fell to its knees.
There are more than 2 police officers on Hong Kong Island, including uniformed police, Flying Tigers, administrative departments, etc.
A quarter of the people came, which means more than 5000 people came.
Among them were hundreds of high-ranking Gui Lao people.
With so many people surrounding the Kowloon Walled City, the King of the Night has become a complete joke.
He was arrested by the police and sent to jail in Stanley to retire early.
