Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 287 Take [-]%

Chu looked forward at the four watches, then picked up the one with the best quality and put it on his hand directly.

Qian Cathay's face turned dark when he saw it.

The superiors thought that Chu Xiangqian wanted these things really for business or to bribe intelligence personnel, but they didn't expect that this kid would put the most expensive piece on his hand.

Chu Xiangqian saw what Qian Guotai was thinking, "Uncle Qian, these days when doing business or dealing with ghosts, watches, clothes, and even cars are all a way to express one's wealth and heritage.

Moreover, don't think too much about the nobles in England. You are not wrong at all to say that they are empty shells now.

Many earls and viscounts have despised wealthy people in Europe and America in recent years, while at the same time looking for suitable daughters of wealthy businessmen.

One is concerned about his family's money, and the other wants to use his son-in-law's nobleman to improve his family's social status.

So, the richer I appeared, the more those nobles wanted to get in touch with me. "

Only then did Qian Guotai come to his senses. Since Chu Xiangqian was doing business with Gui Lao, wearing a luxury watch worth at least 1 US dollars could indeed reflect his financial strength.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to explain to me. Once the stuff is delivered, it's yours."

After saying that, he took out a small velvet bag from the box.

After opening it, a dozen rubies and sapphires the size of fingernails were poured out.

"These gems are all of the highest quality. The superiors said that although you took the initiative to provide free food to the mainland, it is against the rules to take your things for free.

Moreover, in the medicinal materials business, the speed of recovering funds is somewhat slow.

Chu Xiangqian's smile suddenly turned crooked. A boss is a boss, and his vision is long-term.

This box of treasures may really only be worth 50 million Tianchao coins in the mainland, but when taken abroad, the value will increase several times in an instant.

With these things, I will have reason to work hard to provide more food to the mainland in the future.

Even if you find some technical information or information, you can hand it over to Qian Guotai openly.

However, Chu Xiangqian actually didn't care much about red. After all, the Novice Village itself could produce rubies.

The previous animal tooth necklace was purchased from a jewelry store in Xinshou Village with a gold coupon. The new animal tooth necklace now has more than a dozen top quality pigeon blood ruby ​​beads.

On the other hand, sapphires and emeralds are more valuable in his eyes.

However, with this transaction of rubies and sapphires from the mainland, if I take out the rubies for auction in the future, at least my superiors won’t think too much about it.

After closing the box, with a thought, all the contents in the box were put into the Novice Village warehouse.

There were also seven or eight sounds in my mind, the sound of increasing gold coupons.

After careful calculation, a total of 213 points have been added.

Chu Xiangqian was not happy and said to Qian Guotai, "Wait for me."

Qian Guotai was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Chu Xiangqiang had asked him to wait for a while the day before yesterday, and then brought him 10 US dollars.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, when Chu Xiangqian returned to the private room again, he put the box on the table and opened it. There was one hundred thousand US dollars inside.

"Since those three easter eggs are worth 30 U.S. dollars, I am embarrassed and just want to take advantage. I gave you 20 U.S. dollars twice before and after, plus the 10 U.S. dollars to bribe the American military officer, it is exactly 30 U.S. dollars.

If I get more information in the future, you can replenish me with activity funds.Ruby, sapphire, jade and four watches should be considered as an advance payment for your purchase of food. "

Qian Guotai naturally agreed with this model of handing over information first and then giving money.

With this 10 US dollars, for a few months or half a year, comrades who have been engaged in foreign affairs will not have to be so frugal and hard-working in life.

Chu Qianqian left the box to Qian Guotai, nodded, turned around and left.

Then he sat in the car and let his tits stare at Qian Guotai again before returning smoothly before driving to the Causeway Bay Cinema.

Entering Wrinkle's office on the theater side, I didn't expect that this guy Lardboy was there.

When the two of them saw Chu Qianqian knocking on the door and coming in, they hurriedly got up and called one the boss and the other Mr. Chu.

Chu nodded forward, and after a moment's thought, he guessed that Lard Boy must have come to inquire about the Snake-shaped Trickster's box office in the past three days.

By the way, let’s talk about how the movie he made with Xia Shanbao and Hong Xing Jiang will be released.

Sure enough, Wrinkle Huai explained the purpose of Lardboy's visit in just a few words.

Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "Before your movie is released, you have to let me see the specific content first, right?"

Lardboy smiled awkwardly, while Chu Xiangqian could tell at a glance that the movie made by these three guys must have an outrageous plot.

Staring at Lardboy, he asked, "What on earth did you three film?"

Lardboy hesitated for a few seconds before whispering, "I didn't pay attention when we were filming, but the two protagonists were actually doing it on the set."

Damn it, Chu Xiangqian believed that he was a ghost.

But I heard Lardboy say that the heroine of their movie is a has-been of a rich man, and the hero is her boyfriend. The two of them probably wanted to be famous. Although they were covered with quilts during the filming, But like that, it is definitely serious.

While Chu Xiangqian was surprised, he felt that this was actually not bad.

As long as the three points are not revealed, whether it is serious or acted too real will not hinder the review.

After all, it’s not like you have to cover yourself with a quilt all the time.

Then he stared at Lard Boy for a long time and said, "Damn Fatty, did you, the director, deliberately create that scene to attract the audience?"

Lardboy's heart tightened, and he secretly thought that Chu Qianqian was really not easy to fool, and he actually guessed his own thoughts just after hearing it.

Wrinkle Huaize said with a smile, "Boss, it looks like this movie made by Brother Zai will do well at the box office."

"It will be more than good," Chu Qianqian sighed, "The box office on Hong Kong Island should not be worse than Futon.

As for other places, it should be no problem to earn 40 to [-] yuan. "

There was a movie in the United States back then. The director, protagonist and cinematographer changed the script without telling the heroine. When it came to actual shooting, the intimate scene was so realistic.

This matter was kept hidden from the outside world at the beginning, and enough money was given to the heroine to shut up. When the movie was released, it would do well at the box office.

Unfortunately, this movie was only released for one week before it was banned due to pressure from the outside world.

But Lard Boy is covered with a quilt, and the male and female protagonists are boyfriend and girlfriend in real life. It will definitely be scolded after it is released, but it really does not violate the regulations.

And the more you scold, the more people will watch.

That's why Chu Xiangqian said that Lardboy was smart.

Lardboy was overjoyed. According to Chu Xiangqiang's wishes, this experimental film could actually earn 50 to [-] yuan.

The filming only took half a month, and the cost was only 7.

There is even 2 yuan in it, which is the damage fee for the bad guy.

15 yuan in 7 days can be exchanged for 50 to [-] yuan, six or seven times the profit. Just thinking about it, Lardboy couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian’s help would not be in vain, “Leave the issue to me in other places, you just wait to get the money.”

Lard Boy is not stupid, and he knows that Chu Xiangqian will definitely take a commission from it, but without Chu Xiangqian's relationship, it will be troublesome for it to be released on Hong Kong Island, let alone other places.

Of course, it would be no problem to find other cinemas to show it, but among all the regular cinemas in Hong Kong, only Chu's Cinema Chain owned by Chu Qianqian and Bai Fanyu has the most seats and the best environment.

If it were distributed to other movie theaters, even if it could attract ten or eight movie theaters, the box office would definitely not be as high as that of Chu Cinemas.Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian had promised at the beginning that he would receive a 95% discount on the release of his movie with Xia Shanbao and Hong Xingjiang.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian had agreed to show the movie he made at Chu Cinema, Lardboy quickly asked his younger brother to get the film.

While waiting, Chu Xiangqian called Sanjiang Shui.

Let him stare at Cao Dahua carefully from now on.

Once Boss Cao loses too much, he immediately comes to buy the Palace Theater in North Point.

If 50 million is not enough, then 100 million.

Because this theater is so famous, its actual value has indeed exceeded the real price of the property and land.

Sanjiang Shui agreed and even said with a smile, "Boss, it's not like I haven't done anything these days. Not only is my cousin working on the ferry from Hong Kong Island to Macau.

I also found an aunt to help her apply for a job as a servant in the Cao family.

Whenever Boss Cao loses money, he will definitely behave abnormally when he returns home. "

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but give Sanjiang Shui a thumbs up. The two chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Not long after, Chu Xiangqian watched the movie made by Lard Boy and the others in the small theater dedicated to watching movies in the cinema.

After reading it, he looked at Lardboy with a weird expression on his face.

"Brother Zai, you are really talented. You will definitely make a lot of money just from making movies in the future."

Lardboy chuckled. With Chu Xiangqian's words, not only would it be released, but the business in other places should also be able to be sold at a good price.

Chu Xiangqian said to Wrinkle-Wai, "Ah-Huai, call the Assistant Director of the Police Department, Superintendent Hahn, and tell him that I will invite him, Superintendent Charles, Assistant Director Blair, and Director Ge Bai to come over and discuss the new situation." Film collaboration.

By the way, give Lu Sheng a call at Cathay Cinemas. "

Wrinkle Huai nodded hurriedly, but felt a little hesitant in his heart, fearing that Chu Qianqian, the boss, would not earn a dime for the sake of face.

Chu waved his hand forward, friendship is friendship, business is business, how can he work in vain.

He looked at Lard Zai and said, "Brother Zai, if you want to distribute your movie overseas, you must first sign a contract with the theater chain for distribution on Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, we take 3% of the issuance fee from other places. "

Wrinkles Huai instantly let go.

But Lardboy's expression twisted, "Is Mr. Chu too much?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Brother, to be blunt, if I spend 20 to buy out your distribution rights in other places, will you, Xia Shanbao, Hong Xing, and Jiang Zhen sell it?"

Lardboy scratched his head. From the bottom of his heart, he must be selling it.

After all, with the relationship between myself and others, it should be no problem to find someone willing to distribute in Macau. But in Southeast Asia, apart from knowing a few flour merchants, there is basically no relationship.

If you take the initiative to come to your door, those publishers will most likely not take advantage of you.

Even if we go to each cinema to negotiate, the time it takes will definitely take years to calculate.

And with this time and energy, I might as well make a few more movies.

Leave it to Chu Xiangqian, and you can easily distribute it to Southeast Asia without having to worry about it being released on Hong Kong Island.

It's equivalent to making one more movie and earning back all the distribution fees.

Moreover, the 20 yuan not only recouped the cost, but also made a net profit of 13 yuan.

Therefore, even if they knew that Chu Xiangqian earned more, basically no one would object.

"Master Chu, how much do you think my movie could fetch in a foreign country?"

If it were anyone else, Chu Xiangqian would definitely not say it.

But people like Xia Shan Bao, Hong Xing, Jiang Zhen and Lard Boy are not good people. When they enter the film industry, they will definitely bully the actors and behind the scenes.

Practitioners in this field have suffered a loss in their hands, as well as in the hands of other associations that saw the benefits and followed suit.

Most people would definitely dream of joining their own film company.

Not only are talents flocking to the company, employees already in the company will not leave easily.

This is of great benefit to myself.

Therefore, Chu Qianqian is eager for several societies to get involved in this industry.

"Guiguo, please don't say anything for a moment. I'm sure I'll ask for at least 3 pounds. As for Cathay Cinemas, if this movie can sell 40 pounds at the box office on Hong Kong Island, then the asking price of 20 pounds will definitely be no problem.

As for island countries and South Korea, the price is almost the same. "

Not only did Lardboy's face look ecstatic, but Wrinkle's chest was also surprised.

This is equivalent to 88 Hong Kong dollars, plus the box office share after the Hong Kong Island release, which equals a net income of over one million.

Chu Qianqian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lardboy so excited.

This is taking advantage of the few dividends of this type of film in the market.

But first there was the movie Futon with Rice and Fish, and then there was the movie Lard Boy. In the future, there will be many movies of the same type appearing in Hong Kong Island and even in Southeast Asia.

There are too many movies of the same type, and not only the quality is not guaranteed, but also the audiences are watching them too much, and the box office will definitely not be as good as it is now.

There are too many examples of this in the Hong Kong film industry.

Only kung fu movies can completely open up the Southeast Asian market.

"Call Xiashan Bao and Jiang Zhen to come over, lest they still have objections after I finish the negotiation, or feel that you took advantage of them."

Lardboy nodded hurriedly and went to make a phone call with Wrinkle Huai.

Chu Qianqian walked out of the small screening room and went to the window to smoke a cigar. He saw Zhang Rongfei talking to a woman in her forties or fifty.

Seeing the boss coming over, Zhang Rongfei hurriedly said to his mother, "Mom, my boss is also the boss I worshiped and kowtowed to in Xiangtang. You must not talk nonsense."

Fei's mother nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Fei Zai, it's too late for me to thank him, so how could he talk nonsense."

Chu Xiangqian's hearing has always been very good, and he has heard the conversation between the two of them.

Two or three meters away, he threw a cigar to Zhang Rongfei, "Pretty boy, how do you like singing?"

Zhang Rongfei was stunned, but Fei’s mother understood immediately.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Boss, my Zai Zai sings the best. If you ask him to be a singer, he will make a lot of money."

Zhang Rongfei's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Chu Xiangqian laughed loudly, since Yang Luming, a woman who looks exactly like Aunt Mei, is as good at singing as Aunt Mei.

It makes no sense that Zhang Rongfei, a handsome guy who looks like his brother, can't sing.

"Okay, you can go find Manager Wrinkle later and tell me I'll treat you to a cigar."
