Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 887 It’s still fun to pretend once in a while

With his strength, power, and agility, swimming is as easy and fast as running.

After going a few nautical miles, the tit circled in the air several times and then planned to take out the speedboat, sail south for dozens of nautical miles, and then fly back to Hong Kong Island by seaplane.

However, the tit only flew around a few nautical miles and saw several ships of hundreds or thousands of tons cruising in the surrounding waters.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but curse.

The sea is endless. Standing on a warship with a telescope, you can see clearly for more than ten nautical miles, let alone a few nautical miles.

It was noon now, and a little reflection from the sunlight was enough to attract the attention of the warship.

When you see a speedboat speeding on the sea, a ship weighing several hundred tons is not slow in itself.

Even if you can't catch up with the speedboat for a while, you can call a helicopter or a fighter jet over.

Chu Xiangqian cursed while continuing to think of a way to escape.

The best way, of course, is to hide in the Novice Village and wait until dark. Even if you run past these ships, it won't be a big problem.

They could even take out a seaplane and fly close to the sea surface, so that warships and the like would not be able to detect them at all.

But Chu Xiangqian was worried about arousing the suspicion of Wanwan and Meiguo, so he thought it would be best for him to return to Hong Kong Island today, and then invite the foreign guys in the card-playing club to the Tung Lung Chau Golf Resort for dinner and card playing in the evening.

Not only did he explain where he went today, but more than a dozen Yingguo men also testified that he was in Hong Kong Island today.

Then the suspicion on me would be reduced by 9%. After all, in the eyes of the world, it is impossible for a gunfight to happen in the morning and return to Hong Kong Island in the afternoon.

Moreover, in the curved airspace at this time, no aircraft is allowed to take off.

Fortunately, after observing for more than half an hour, the tit quickly discovered that there were still some gaps in the defense of these ships cruising on the sea.

After taking out the speedboat and driving for half an hour, Chu Xiangqian took back the Novice Village together with the speedboat.

Wait for the ship to leave, then reappear in the real world and continue heading south.

After repeating this three times, we were already sixty or seventy nautical miles away from Wanwan.

The seaplane was released and started smoothly. After flying for more than ten minutes, Chu Xiangqian finally felt relieved.
-
It was just after five in the afternoon when he showed up at the golf resort in Lung Chau, Tung Lung Island, Hong Kong.

Zheng Sufen and Zheng Baoyi, mother and daughter, had been waiting for him here for a long time.

The little girl is 10 years old, meters tall and graceful.

Chu Xiangqian could no longer hug her like he did when they were children, but that didn't stop him from kissing her on the top of her head.

Zheng Baoyi, who felt a little strange after not seeing each other for a few months, couldn't help but laugh, and said while hugging Chu Xiangqian's arm and shaking it.

"Uncle, we haven't seen each other for several months. I was worried that you had forgotten me."

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at the little guy and said, "Okay, okay, uncle will probably stay in Hong Kong Island for quite a while this time. He should spend more time with your mother and take you out to play a few times."

Zheng Baoyi said so much just to find an opportunity for her mother.

When the little girl heard Chu Xiangqian say this, she jumped up happily and made a V-sign to Zheng Shufen.

Zheng Shufen's face turned slightly red, and the look she gave Chu Xiangqian was so gentle that it seemed as if tears were about to drip.

Seeing this, Zheng Baoyi sighed inwardly, thinking that her own mother was truly hopeless.

I was completely eaten alive by my uncle.

However, if I had a boyfriend like my uncle in the future, I would probably be reluctant to let him go.

Chu Xiangqian reached out and grabbed Zheng Shufen's hand, and continued to talk to Zheng Baoyi with a smile, "I heard that you like archery recently. Why did you choose this project as an extracurricular activity?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyi became excited.

She kept begging Chu Xiangqian to teach her archery. If she could be half as good as Chu Xiangqian, she would definitely win an Olympic medal in the future.

Chu Xiangqian was stunned and couldn't help but look at Zheng Shufen who was quietly holding his hand.

Zheng Shufen smiled and said, "Baoyi saw the photo of you holding the little prince in the English newspaper, and she insisted on winning the championship.

After choosing and choosing, I don't know why she chose archery, and she also said that you are very good at it."

Chu Xiangqian was also curious about how the little girl knew that.

Zheng Baoyi pulled Chu Xiangqian's arm and motioned him to lower his head.

Then he whispered, "Uncle, I heard from Aunt Lan that although your kung fu is great, your archery is actually the best."

Chu Xiangqian was relieved and said with a smile, "Your Aunt Lan didn't lie to you. Uncle's archery skills are really amazing."

Zheng Sufen said with some concern, "Master, I still think riding a horse is good.

You gave her two horses, and if she goes to practice at Kowloon Racecourse, there will be professional trainers to teach her."

Zheng Baoyi curled her lips and said, "I don't want to practice horse riding. Maybe I will compete with the little brother in London for the championship in the future.

It would be so embarrassing if I couldn't beat him then.

But if I beat him, I'm afraid he'll cry and say I'm bullying him because I'm older than him."

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian was in a good mood, Zheng Baoyi took the opportunity to grab his arm and shook it a few times, "Uncle, are you going to teach me archery?"

"Okay, okay, okay," Chu Xiangqian probably thought that Zheng Baoyi was just fun at best, so he just taught her a few tricks.

Moreover, the girl is pretty and cute. If she really doesn't like studying in the future, it would be a good idea for her to go into sports or become a star.

Zheng Sufen already owns two cinemas, and she also owns a film company and a cinema chain.

Hollywood even owns a 20% stake in Universal Pictures. If Baoyi becomes a star in the future, she will definitely become a princess in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

After entering the resort and lying on a beach chair drinking tea, Zheng Sufen made tea for him while thinking about reporting on the shipping company.

Chu Xiangqian, who had just killed someone this morning, was in no mood to listen to the company's affairs.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm relieved that you are in the shipping company's hands."

Zheng Sufen actually has no access to the truly secret business.

And Chu Xiangqian is still very confident about Zheng Sufen.

She only has one daughter, who is not Chu Xiangqian's biological daughter, so she has no right to compete for the family property.

She and Zheng Baoyi are usually given a lot of pocket money, and their salaries are also based on the standards of top managers.

Chu Xiangqian owned two cinemas and several houses. He really couldn't figure out why Zheng Sufen would betray him.

Of course, the shipping company does not belong entirely to Chu Xiangqian now.

Philips and Norton each own 5% of the shares. Although they are small shareholders, Chu Xiangqian still allowed them to send representatives to stay in the company.

This is actually a form of supervision and encouragement for Zheng Sufen and Le Yan.

Moreover, the workplace in Hong Kong is not friendly to women. Not to mention now, even decades later, there will be very few female executives.

He was pulling Zheng Shufen to lie on the beach chair with him, and his sweet words made Zheng Sufen smile happily.

Zheng Baoyi ran over with a small bow and arrow. Seeing her mother and Chu Xiangqian lying on the beach chairs talking and laughing, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Sometimes she felt as if she was redundant.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian not only treated her the same, but sometimes even treated her better than Chu Jingrong.

Therefore, during these years when the little girl's personality was the most sensitive, not only did she not have any shadows from her peers, but she also brought Chu Xiangqian into the role of her father a long time ago.

When Chu Xiangqian saw the bow and arrow in Baoyi's hand, he quickly retracted his head and hid behind Zheng Sufen's chest.

Zheng Baoyi was very upset and ran over, pulling him and saying that Chu Xiangqian didn't keep his word. Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to stand up and take the bow and arrow from the little girl.

I tried to gently pull the bowstring, and surprisingly, this bow was not a children's toy, but a 22-pound recurve bow.

He looked at Zheng Baoyi and asked, "Can you shoot with this bow?"

Zheng Baoyi immediately showed a proud expression, took out gloves from his pocket and put them on.

He took the bow and pulled it easily.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but become interested.

Although an 8-year-old child can pull an 18-pound bow, it is difficult for a 22-year-old girl to easily pull a full bow at 10 pounds.

Chu Xiangqian laughed and became interested, wanting to show off his skills to Zheng Baoyi.

He took the bow back, put a long arrow on it and aimed it at a tree about ten meters away.

After easily hitting the tree trunk, Chu Xiangqian shot a few more arrows, all of which hit the tree trunk one centimeter above the first arrow.

Seeing this, Zheng Baoyi couldn't help but shout excitedly.

After Chu Xiangqian became familiar with the performance of the bow, he pulled the bow up 30 degrees, felt the wind speed, and suddenly released the bowstring.

The long arrow flew more than twenty meters into the sky, forming a parabola, and hit a flagpole forty meters away.

Zheng Baoyi and Zheng Shufen were both stunned. Even Zheng Shufen felt that if Chu Xiangqian was really willing to teach Baoyi seriously, then it would not be a problem for their daughter to win an Olympic championship.

Looking at Chu Xiangqian's eyes, he couldn't help but start to feel disappointed.

Zheng Baoyi became more and more angry with Chu Xiangqian. He grabbed Chu Xiangqian's arm and shouted, "Teach me quickly, teach me quickly."

Chu Xiangqian laughed. Sometimes, for adults, the admiration of children is the most proud thing.

Naturally, I impart my experience without reservation.

However, skills and experience do exist and they play a big role.

But to be honest, it still requires more practice and talent.

When the little girl was tired of playing, Chu Xiangqian simply said to Zheng Shufen, "Donate some money to the school where Baoyi is studying to build an indoor archery range."

Zheng Shufen was stunned, "Are we spoiling her too much?"

Zheng Baoyi himself also felt that it was a waste to donate an archery range just because he wanted to learn archery.

But after all, she was a little girl, and she felt secretly proud of herself.

If my classmates knew about the donation, they would definitely admire and flatter me.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Anyway, the shipping company will definitely engage in social charity activities in the future. In this case, we can just build an archery range and treat it as both public and private.

Moreover, I think Baoyi has talent in this area, so naturally I should let her try.

If I really win the Olympic gold medal, it will be Hong Kong Island’s first gold medal.”

Zheng Shufen was immediately attracted, and the shipping company's profits were indeed increasing.

In order to reasonably avoid taxes, charitable activities are indeed inevitable.

He smiled and nodded, then thought about what Chu Xiangqian suddenly thought of.

Then he said, "Since you've donated money, I might as well find someone to help you go to Baoyi's school to be a school director. This will not only improve your social status, but also prevent people from bullying Baoyi."

Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that Zheng Shufen might be able to go into politics in the future.

Although Chinese people did not have the right to vote during the period when Yingguo came to govern Hong Kong Island, more than 30 years later, Cheng Shuk-fen is only in her sixties and still has the potential to strive for a high position.

No matter how bad the situation is, it’s still okay to be a volunteer.

Zheng Shufen naturally had no objection to this.

It was no longer a secret within the Chu family that Xue Jinglan had become a director of several private schools.

Gangsheng and Feifei are still too young and don’t have any interest in this aspect.

When asked to shoulder more social responsibilities, the two of them refused without hesitation.

Only Linda is ambitious. With Chu Xiangqian's support, she thrives in the police force.
-
At night, the foreigners from the card-playing club came to the island for dinner one after another and immediately gave their testimony to Chu Xiangqian.

Eat, play cards, chat, and talk about the projects they are working on.

If everyone thinks this project is good, then we can cooperate.

The one with the most say, of course, is Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian talked about the radio and television licenses.

Before this, Hong Kong Island had actually already opened a TV station.

But the channels that are broadcast are always English channels, and there are very few programs, only one or two hours every evening.

Although the ratings were good, the audience was actually very small.

At one point, people thought that radio and television stations were a business that lost money but gained publicity.

And the facts proved that, at least throughout the 1960s and the first few years of the 1970s, the TV station was not profitable.

It was not until the 1980s that Uncle Shao really realized that television stations would make much more money than movies in the future.

Only then did the focus shift from Shaw Brothers films to television stations.

Only after the helmsman of the Li family passed away did Uncle Six have the opportunity to obtain more shares in the TV station.

Otherwise, no matter how well he did, he was just making money for others as he only had a few percent of the shares at the beginning.

Since Chu Xiangqian knew the role of the TV station, he would certainly not give the license to others.

But we can't rush this matter. The discussion alone will definitely take a year and a half.

The foreigners are not stupid, they know the importance of public opinion better than anyone else.

In the end, the Chinese were allowed to participate in the competition for licenses because no one in Britain was willing to do such a loss-making business at that time.

Chu Xiangqian started thinking about this business more than two years in advance, and naturally wanted to be the main promoter in getting the license issued as soon as possible.

No matter how much he pays now, when he controls all the shares of the TV station in the future, everyone will think it would be strange if he didn't take the license.

Hader and others readily agreed that they would stand by him without reservation in this matter.

The next morning, when Chu Xiangqian was sleeping soundly with Zheng Shufen in his arms, the phone suddenly rang.

Chu Xiangqian reached out for the phone while cursing, and heard Jin Xiu's voice coming from the receiver.

It was said that Qian Guotai had found out about a new source of medicinal materials in the mainland and was anxious to find him to report it.

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew it must be related to Wanwan’s incident yesterday.

Zheng Shufen was naturally not woken up by the ringing phone. She vaguely heard an unfamiliar woman's voice and quickly guessed that it should be Jin Xiu, one of the Jin sisters.

He was just thinking whether he and Baoyi should go to the big house on the top of the mountain and take the initiative to make friends with Jinzhi and Jinxiu.

Then Chu Xiangqian said, "When Baoyi finishes class tonight, take her to the big house for dinner."

Zheng Shufen nodded quickly and her smile became much brighter.

But when Chu Xiangqian started his morning exercise dishonestly, the woman could only hold on for half an hour and could no longer run.
