I am many years in the courtyard

Hong Kong Island, Villa No. 72, Deep Water Bay, New Year's Day, 1985.

Over the years, I have entertained several tycoons from the Middle East at home, and the accompanying guests include Huo Jiandong, a Chinese-funded boss.

"Sit down, please. You're welcome. Try some of our tea. These are good things for us to entertain our distinguished guests."

It is said to be very good tea, but in fact it is just that.

Tea that promotes its own value is actually all based on publicity.

As for how good they are, that's a matter of opinion.

With his current net worth many years ago, Middle Eastern tycoons like Basem would not say anything even if it were ordinary tea bought on the street.

What's more, he has indeed not deceived the other party for many years, because these tea leaves were really given by other bosses, and he has never drank them.

He is not used to drinking tea, so Liangbaikai is the best health drink.

Tea is okay if you drink it occasionally, but after a long time, you won't get used to it.

It is said in traditional Chinese medicine that medicine is divided into three parts: poison.

No matter how precious this medicine is, it is still the same.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for the tea. We like it very much." Basham also brought a Chinese translator and was wearing white clothes, looking extremely formal.

The traditional clothing of the Middle East is the Arab robe, and the white hat or headscarf that they call Kufiya.

This time, they have been looking for it for many years, hoping to purchase land reclamation technology.

They first approached Huo Jiandong, hoping that the latter could help them build a land reclamation project. Money was not an issue.

But as soon as Huo Jiandong heard that they said that it would be completed in a relatively short period of time and that he also hoped that it would be as solid as the Xintiandi Plaza on Hong Kong Island, he immediately refused.

After repeated requests from Basemu and the others, Huo Jiandong made the call that he had called for many years.

But he didn't expect that the latter would actually meet with Basemu and the others.

Basham and the others have visited Xintiandi Plaza on Hong Kong Island many times, and they all know that this place was originally the sea.

However, it was completely filled up by the construction company under the names of many years and Huo Jiandong.

After the entire sea was filled in, Xintiandi Plaza has been as good as new for so long now, without any quality problems at all.

You know, there are several buildings hundreds of meters high standing on the square.

For example, the tallest Xintiandi Building has a floor height of 599 meters, which is definitely the tallest building in the world.

For Basem and others, they have a lot of money, but just waiting to die is not an option.

So when thinking about solutions, they thought of Hong Kong Island, which they had visited many times.

They believe that Hong Kong Island's economic development model, or the tourism model, is completely replicable.

There is money in the Middle East, and they can use the funds to build beautiful buildings and build the tallest buildings in the world.

Moreover, they also want to reclaim land from the sea.

Just because of the environment in the Middle East, everyone understands it.

I listened to their stories with a smile for many years without interrupting their imagination.

To be honest, this is a very good project, and if the Wharf Group can take advantage of it, it will also be very good.

However, the time limit put forward by the other party, haha, do you want to replicate the miracle of Xintiandi Plaza completing the land reclamation within one or two years?

“You can’t afford this funding!”

Many years said this without hesitation.

But Basemu was so proud that he said, "Mr. Xu, just make your offer. Even if it's 10 billion US dollars, we'll accept it."

Ten billion US dollars is indeed very impressive for many projects.

Huo Jiandong couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

Good guy, are you so generous?

Are you willing to pay 10 billion US dollars for just a land reclamation project?

Are all these Middle Eastern tycoons so rich?

I have heard this for many years, but I don’t take it seriously.

It’s only 10 billion US dollars, and you want him to help?

Forget it, the other party should have no shortage of time anyway, so take your time.

Therefore, even if the other party increased the price to 15 billion US dollars, it remained unmoved for many years.

He insisted that it take about seven or eight years to complete, not just one or two years.

The difference in time almost made Basemu and the others extremely depressed.

Although they are not short of money, they can only accept it after facing many years of not being short of money.

No way!

You can’t continue to raise prices, right?

They are very rich, but they are not fools. How could they not have calculated this economic account?

Therefore, this matter can only be like this for the time being. They still need to go back and discuss it to see if they accept the plan that has been proposed for many years.

In this regard, many years said there was no problem.

Of course, a big project cannot be settled at once.

"Our Spring Festival is coming soon. You are welcome to stay and experience our Spring Festival. Of course, if you like Hong Kong Island, you can also buy some assets here. Anyway, investing in real estate on Hong Kong Island will definitely not be a loss. Buy and sell.”

After hearing the words of many years, Basemu and the others asked curiously.

Mainly they were interested in the many years of fame, and they also talked about the Jurassic Park movie, which has become a global hit recently.

"I remember that the movie is adapted from a novel, and the novel was written by you, Mr. Xu. Can I ask, how do you know about these dinosaurs? How did you come up with these stories?"

Many books such as A Mortal's Journey to Immortality have been translated into many languages ​​and are sold in many countries around the world.

Therefore, Basemu and the others certainly know these things.

When the media promotes it, they will introduce the origin of the movie Jurassic Park, and it will inevitably be mentioned for many years.

Then, over the years, his reputation also increased, and subsequently, his book sales increased a lot.

As a result, the royalties have increased over the years.

The bank card used to receive the manuscript fee has not been checked for many years, but there should be hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in funds.

Few people pay attention to prehistoric giants like dinosaurs.

However, he has not only paid attention to it for many years, but has also been able to create such a touching story. He truly deserves to be a best-selling author.

From the colorful world of immortals, to the martial arts world of grievances and hatred, to the thrilling dinosaur era, I really don’t know how rich and colorful my inner world has been over the years.

In addition to being a best-selling author, he has been the richest man in Hong Kong Island for many years, and he is also a mysterious Chinese medicine doctor who has been passed down for thousands of years.

There are many identities, and the whole person is like a living novel. Not only Basemu and the others were very interested, but Huo Jiandong also showed curiosity.

It's a pity that I haven't had the intention to talk about this topic in depth for many years. I just chatted briefly and then changed the subject.

As of now, the movie Jurassic Park has been released in many countries and regions.

After all, the daily box office is not as good as before.

Generally speaking, a movie lasts about a month in the cinema.

There are also some movies that are available for one-day or multi-day tours, and some movies that are available for delayed release.

In cinemas in Bald Eagle, Europe and many other regions, the movie Jurassic Park naturally enjoys such treatment.

Even if the PolyGram Group wanted to release the movie, the movie theater owners were unwilling.

Just because this movie’s ability to attract money is still very strong.

For example, in the city of New York, a certain movie company on Wall Street can not only earn about 10,000 US dollars from the daily box office, but the movie peripherals are also very popular.

If it were normal, then these movie theaters would definitely let the movie go, but in the case of this movie, they wouldn't.

When other new movies are released, they will not be able to affect Jurassic Park's film schedule.

As we all know, when a film production company signs a release contract with a cinema, it is always in the first few weeks. The film production company takes the big part and the cinema takes the small part.

In the next week or two when the movie is about to be released in theaters, it will be the other way around.

Therefore, movie theaters particularly like movies that have the ability to attract money over a long period of time.

In the original history of time and space, when the big ship Titanic was released, at that time, the movie stayed in theaters for a year and a half.

It directly earned a total box office revenue of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars around the world, and the revenue in North America alone exceeded 600 million U.S. dollars.

However, this movie is still a lot worse than the Jurassic Park of this time and space.

Just because the film visual effects industry had begun to develop many years ago, the Jurassic Park of this time and space has almost reached the level of the later millennium in terms of visual effects.

In addition, it is only the end of 1984, which means it is almost twenty years ahead of schedule. It is purely a dimensionality reduction attack.

Not to mention the numerous Huimin supermarkets throughout the North American continent, which are the best promotional positions.

Much more powerful than any TV commercial.

After all, you may not go to the cinema or read newspapers, but you will definitely go back to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.

As a representative of low-cost supermarkets, which are also high-quality and low-priced supermarkets, places like Huimin Supermarket are very friendly to North American citizens.

Because of this, the quality of the movie is super high, coupled with the huge publicity and discussion across the United States, many people have watched it more than once.

You know, in 1939, when MGM's Gone with the Wind was released, 197 million movie tickets were sold throughout North America, and the box office revenue was 1936 million. Dollar.

Taking into account rising prices and fares, this revenue was equivalent to US$800 million in 1984.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Jurassic Park, a phenomenal movie, to take over the box office around the world, far exceeding the box office results of the original film.

In the country of Bald Eagle alone, the box office revenue has exceeded 850 million US dollars, and this performance is increasing by about 8 million dollars every day.

You know, the box office of many movies is less than 8 million.

One can imagine how powerful this movie is at attracting money.

Basem and the others left Villa No. 72 in Deep Water Bay with disappointment, and many years ago returned to the capital the next day.

He will not continue to stay on Hong Kong Island. For the Chinese New Year, he will go back to the capital, where it will be more festive.

In the capital city of this era, let alone the ban on setting off fireworks, there are still not many fireworks.

Therefore, for many years, many fireworks have been brought back to the capital from Hong Kong Island to be set off.

There is no other way. The fireworks here in the capital cannot produce such beautiful effects.

It's not a technical problem, it's just that there's no market.

If no one buys it and there is no such demand, where would there be a factory to make such gorgeous fireworks?

On the first night after returning to the capital, many years ago, the family set off fireworks.

However, since he was close to the Forbidden City, he also informed Wenjin Street before setting off the fireworks.

After all, the movement is a bit loud, so you must explain it in advance, otherwise there will be a misunderstanding.

Therefore, before setting off the fireworks, a team of police officers and several aunts from the street office arrived in front of the house.

For many years there was reason to suspect that they were not there to maintain order, but to watch the fireworks.

Just because the time has not come yet, many citizens came out near Nanchizi Street.

Even people from several nearby streets ran out of the street.

Because everyone here in the capital has done a good job in intelligence work. When they heard that there were fireworks to watch, many people immediately ran out.

When he heard about the fireworks, He Yuzhu almost couldn't catch up with his wife Niu Cuihua, but his son He Yuancun ran the fastest.

If you want to see fireworks from Nanluogu Lane, you have to go to Di'anmen Street.

After all, a place of one or two kilometers can easily be blocked by buildings.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Qin Huairu still thought it was strange, but the little boy just came back from outside and said with a smile:

“I don’t know who spread the news, but many people came to watch the fireworks near our house.”

"The door was crowded with people. I couldn't get out even if I wanted to. It seems I can only set off fireworks in the yard."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu immediately pouted and said:

"It's true that your dad spent so much money to buy the fireworks, but they were all seen by others, and they watched the fireworks for free."

Just thinking about it makes me panic.

Jiannian was holding her youngest son in her arms. When she heard her words, she couldn't help but laugh:

"Does our family still lack that little money? When will your little family's temperament change?"

The parents were about to quarrel again, and the little boy quickly grabbed Xu Shanhe, who still wanted to watch the fight, and left as if running away.

It was half past seven in the evening, and the night had already become completely dark.

"Isn't it someone who spread the false news? Where are the fireworks? We've been waiting for half an hour."

Near Nanchizi Street, Yan Laoji and other neighbors in No. 95 Courtyard all raised their heads and looked at the loneliness for a long time.

Just as they were chanting, there was a loud noise in the distance, and a beautiful fireworks appeared in the sky.

The very colorful fireworks patterns are really beautiful.

For a time, many people exclaimed in surprise after seeing this scene.

The free fireworks are so fun to watch. (End of chapter)
