Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 284 Accident
Chu Xiangqian would not let the 7 entertainment cities that belong to him to the casual people.

One cinema chain is a joint cinema chain, which means that 7 cinemas belong exclusively to Chu Xiangqian, and 4 of Baifanyu also belong to him exclusively.

There's no reason to let people who are too lazy to show off to you.

Secondly, he is also the president of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Association, and there are many apprentices who learn kung fu.

As long as these people are paid, they are usually serious employees. Once someone makes trouble, when everyone gathers, there will be 200 or [-] people.

And if you start a fight to keep your job, you are not necessarily weaker than a regular member of the club.

In addition to the vegetable market that will expand in the future, I will have at least three to four hundred people under my command, who are brave enough to fight.

Not to mention ordinary societies, even those big societies dare not take the initiative to provoke.

Of course, with Chu Xiangqian's connections, big associations would not offend him.

Beware of those little gangsters and newly emerging societies, these people can definitely crush them.
-
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian took the box office form submitted by Wrinkle Huai.

I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Except for the two morning shows, the average occupancy rate was only 7.5%. There were 6 shows in the afternoon and evening, and every show was basically full.

11家电影院3700个座位，票价平均1块1，等于一场收入4070块钱。

There are 7 sold-out games throughout the day, and the income is 3.

It’s really not difficult to earn 80 or [-] yuan within a month of its release.

If you work hard, it's not impossible to break a million.

As soon as Chu Xiangqian finished reading, Wrinkle Huai whispered, "Boss, detectives from several districts called me and said it was the fees charged by vendors setting up stalls outside the cinema. Should we collect it or they?"

Chu Qianqian was stunned, walked to the window and looked outside, and saw at least a dozen stalls already set up on the street.

I was just about to say that these people are working very hard, so let’s just forget about the fees.

But as he spoke, he realized that if he protected these people and took care of the number of stalls tomorrow, the number of stalls would skyrocket from a dozen to dozens.

Moreover, if you open a canteen in your own movies in the future, the prices of soda, popcorn, and snacks will not be as low as those of these small vendors who don’t need to pay rent.

"Tell the police that they will collect fees, but after collecting the money, they must at least maintain public order. Also, after closing the stalls every day, these vendors must clean the streets voluntarily.

If they don't listen, call the Department of Health. "

Wrinkle Huai nodded hurriedly, guessing in his heart that the boss had realized that the stall was in competition with the concession stand in the cinema.

Otherwise, why bother mentioning the Department of Health?
These stalls are indeed hard work, but there is always a shortage of stalls that cut corners and pass off good stuff.

Wrinkles Huai himself has had the experience of getting upset after eating fish balls.

However, it is actually unrealistic to drive away all the stalls.

If people don’t set up a stall in front of your door, why can’t they set up a stall 50 meters away?

Of course, you can put fish balls, pastries, popcorn, Coke, etc. Unless you rent a nearby store, you just need to mention it to the vendors outside. Those fish balls and pastry vendors will buy Cokes themselves. , the popcorn vendor was driven away.

Then Wrinkle Huai reported, "Boss, I asked two karate martial arts schools, and they were interested at first. But when I heard that you wanted to fight 10 people each, they immediately refused."

Chu Qianqian was startled, that's not right. He was a freshman and it was okay for others to reject him.

If someone refuses after being beaten to 10, it will make people confused.

Wrinkle said helplessly, "Boss, you have forgotten that last month, fifteen or six short mules with sticks were beaten to the ground outside the Youguchi Restaurant. Now it has spread to all the boxing gyms and martial arts gyms in Hong Kong Island.

These people wouldn’t dare get in the ring with you right now. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, and spent money to hire a boxing champion in the United States. The cost was at least 5 to 10 US dollars.

This money is still the appearance fee, which would cost 20 or 40 Hong Kong dollars.

If you really invite people here, even if it is good for the box office, it is equivalent to giving half of the money earned by the entire movie in Hong Kong Island to them.

It's really not worth the candle.

I wanted to forget it, but then I thought of Owen Davis, who was locked up in the cell in the center of Novice Village.

This ghost guy is nearly 2 meters tall and weighs 240cm. His muscles make people feel oppressive just by looking at him.

And compared to the original tornado, Owen is taller and stronger.

If you go into the ring with him, you will definitely attract the attention of the whole Hong Kong.

Moreover, this ghost guy entered the Novice Village in a coma.

If he is knocked unconscious and released, he will only think that he was just imprisoned in an old house somewhere.

But Chu Xiangqian rejected this idea in just a moment.

Not to mention that I must first torture him as to where he hid the money he earned over the years.

And the three-story restaurant in Central is worth at least 30.

Moreover, this ghost guy has his own supply of goods, and there is a high probability that he has accomplices outside Hong Kong Island.

Let him go out to fight in the ring, even if he is killed on the spot, his associates and relatives may come to Hong Kong Island to take revenge.

Chu Qianqian retracted his gaze towards the street, turned to Wrinkle Huai and said, "Forget it in advance for those who compete in the ring.

Now think about it carefully, we can't make a big fuss every time a movie is released.

If you do this too much, it will not be a good thing in the long run. "

Wrinkle Huai thought about it carefully and secretly said that the boss was right.

The release of a movie does require publicity, but relying on breaking news once or twice to attract attention can indeed make the first few movies explode into more box office in the short term.

But if it doesn't hit the mark in the future, the audience will find it boring, which will definitely affect the company's future box office.

"Understood. I will tell the Publicity and Development Department right now that everything will be publicized according to the normal model."

After Chu Qianqian left the cinema, he did not go to the Peninsula Hotel.

Margaret was so crazy last night, her body must not be able to bear the continuous torment on her body.

On the top floor of Fujin Garden in Wan Chai, Chu Qianqian and Feifei Lou were together, soaking in the swimming pool on the attic, chatting and laughing, and doing things they liked.

By the time Fei Fei fell asleep from exhaustion, it was already past 11 p.m.

Chu Xiangqian sent her to the bedroom, while he returned to the attic, lit a cigar, and looked condescendingly at the flow of people coming out of the Wan Chai cinema not far away.

Then I looked far away to see Causeway Bay and the Admiralty Cinema, although they were blocked by buildings.

But 400 people appeared on the street at the same time, and the crowd could still be easily seen.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian enter the Novice Village with satisfaction.

As for how to torture and interrogate, Chu Xiangqian had experienced the interrogation of lurkers from two island countries in the capital, so he was very experienced.

Owen Davidson only persisted for an hour before he couldn't help but reveal that he had four bags of cash and flour hidden in the cold storage in the back kitchen of the restaurant.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this plot did exist in the movie.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't believe it. This ghost guy only had this amount of money.

After questioning again, this time Owen didn't say where his other money was hidden even though he had dozens of wounds on his body.

Chu Qianqian quickly realized that this ghost guy might have understood that whether he said it or not, he would definitely not survive.Even if he survives, he will be disabled in the end.

If he was disabled and had no money, it would be better to just bite the bullet and just die.

Chu Qianqian sneered, walked out of the village center, entered the medicine shop, and spent 100 silver coins to buy 10 meat buns.

After returning to the center of the village, a meat bag was delivered to Owen, whose hands were tied to the wall by his mouth.

This ghost guy now wished that the meat buns were poisonous, so he opened his mouth and swallowed a meat bun into his stomach.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what he thought and fed three meat buns in a row.

I saw that Owen's wounds, large and small, were slowly recovering.

Owen also realized at this time that the pain in his body was decreasing.

When he looked down, he saw that several wounds on his chest that had been opened by knives were slowly healing, and he was stunned.

Chu Xiangqian raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "After you recover from your injuries, we can repeat the punishment just now."

I thought that Gui Lao would insist on not telling anything, but he didn't expect it. Faced with the miracle of automatic healing of the wound, Owen hurriedly shouted, "I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything.

I just ask you to spare my soul after my death. "

Chu Qianqian was stunned and thought to himself: What do I want with your soul?
It took several seconds to realize that this ghost guy mistakenly thought that he was an Eastern superpower, or a devil or something.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that the ghost man, relying on his immense strength, actually hid all the money under the cold storage.

After receiving the money every month, he only needs to pick up a huge refrigerator weighing one ton, two meters high and two meters wide, and hide the money in the secret compartment under the refrigerator.

Damn, this idea really suits a man of Owen's size and strength, and he doesn't even have to worry about someone stealing his money.

Chu whistled forward, and Da Zhuang and Hong Niu immediately came over and continued to stare at Owen, whose hands were tied to the wall.

After leaving the center of the village, Chu stepped forward and appeared on the open-air platform of the attic.

Then I went outside the Western restaurant in Central at night, looked around, and climbed all the way to the top of the third floor.

He pressed his hand on the door lock with a strong force, instantly breaking the door lock. After thinking about it, he summoned Da Zhuang out of the novice village.

He asked him to go downstairs to check once more, and after making sure no one was there, he slowly walked to the kitchen on the first floor.

First, go into the cold storage, find the four handbags, and put them on the huge counter in the kitchen.

Two bags were filled with rolls of 10 and 20 yuan in cash, while the other two bags were filled with bricks of flour.

Chu threw the two bags of flour directly into Novice Village. After a while, after 12 o'clock, the game automatically refreshed and decomposed.

Chu Qianqian counted the other two bags of money. One bag was exactly 50.

Two bags is 1 million.

Chu Xiangqian put the money into the Novice Village warehouse and walked to the two-meter-high and two-meter-wide refrigerator.

What makes Chu Xiangqian embarrassed is that his height is 1 meters and his wingspan is almost the same.

Irving is nearly two meters tall, and his arm span must exceed this figure to be able to lift a 2-meter-wide refrigerator.

But this didn't stop Chu Xiangqian. He unplugged the power cord of the refrigerator, put his hand on the refrigerator, and with a thought, the 2-ton refrigerator was put into the portable storage compartment.

Then I saw a few floor tiles on the floor, and there were quite a few gaps between them and other floor tiles.

Pulling out a kitchen knife from the countertop, it was easy to pry open several floor tiles.

Soon, five bags that were exactly the same as the four bags he found just now were all carried by Chu Xiangqian and placed on the table.

When he opened the zipper of a bag, he saw that it was filled with stacks of cash packed in waterproof plastic bags.

I thought all 5 bags were filled with Hong Kong dollars, but I didn’t expect that 2 bags were filled with US dollars.

This is 200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 800 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the other three bags, two were filled with Hong Kong dollars, and the last one contained four or five passports, two pistols, and a Thompson submachine gun, which was the standard submachine gun of the gang nicknamed "Chicago Typewriter."

There are also several magazines and two 50-round drum magazines, dozens of boxes of .45-caliber bullets and a dozen documents.

After Chu Xiangqian checked the submachine gun and made sure it could be used normally, his attention was immediately attracted to the information and passport.

He conveniently put 200 million US dollars and 200 million Hong Kong dollars into his personal storage compartment.Pick up your passport and look at it.

He cursed immediately.

Seeing that it was the passport of West Germany, I quickly opened the remaining four passports, which were the passports of Italy, East Germany, Finland and Switzerland.

Chu Xiangqian finally understood that this ghost guy was 100% an agent, and most likely a double agent.

They will hide in Hong Kong Island, or they have offended someone and have to take refuge on Hong Kong Island.

Or, just to perform some task.

But if you think about it, the latter is more likely.

Because if I remember correctly, Irving was a philanthropist after the movie. Not only was he interviewed by newspapers, but his photos were also reported in newspapers.

If he offends someone, then publishing his photo is seeking death.

I hurriedly put down the five passports and picked up the piles of information to check them.

After a while, after Chu Xiangxiang read it, he immediately realized that the Americans had sent Owen over first to investigate the Yingguo's ships on Hong Kong Island, the number of troops stationed there, and their combat effectiveness.

How many cargo ships are docked at the port and what is its monthly shipping capacity.

By the way, check the quantity and variety of imported and exported goods every month.

This guy probably wants to investigate whether Hong Kong Island can be used as a cargo transit point when the United States attacks Vietnam.

Chu Xiangqian's first thought was to hand over these materials to the mainland along with Owen Davidson.

But then I thought about it, it was okay to hand over the information to Qian Guotai, but the person had to be killed directly.

Otherwise, failure to protect Irving will become a bargaining chip for exchange personnel.

If this ghost guy is still alive, he will definitely be exposed.

They even used him to make an issue to sow discord between the United States and the Ying Kingdom.

In the face of long-term interests and national interests, Chu Xiangqian knew very well that he was not that important yet.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian didn't even plan to hand over the information.

Instead, he found a typewriter, typed and copied it by hand, and then handed it over to Qian Guotai.

As for whether the superiors believed it or not, Chu Xiangqian didn't care.

Put all the bags into the storage compartment, put the bricks back, and put the refrigerator back where it belongs.

Da Zhuang also took back the novice village.

After checking the kitchen and erasing any traces of himself and Da Zhuang, Chu Qianqian came to the balcony on the third floor of the restaurant. The harvest tonight was actually quite big.

HKD 3 million, USD 2 million, a total of 1100 million in cash.

And this is the money Owen Davis kept secretly after handing over part of his profits to Zhongqing Bureau.
