Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 913 911 Developing New Customers
Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything more and just told the story of the gambling technique with a smile.

Then explaining the grudges and the big money won after the reversal should stimulate some rich people and many ordinary people to go to the Great Wall wine list.

Moreover, the worse the economic situation is, the more some people put their chances of turning things around at the gambling table.

After that, he looked at He Yisheng again and said, "Editor-in-Chief He, find a few editors who are good at writing articles and write more reports about people who make a fortune by betting on horses, dogs, and calligraphy and painting stalls.

There was also a news article about someone taking away 100,000 or 200,000 yuan from the Great Wall Hotel.

However, don’t write that someone won millions or tens of millions, because you can tell at a glance that it’s impossible.”

He Yisheng nodded quickly, and the others also laughed after hearing this.

He Chaosheng even laughed and said, "If it is really reported like that, it would be too disrespectful to Nie Wanlong, the hotel's technical director."

Everyone laughed again.

In the year since Nie Wanlong joined the Great Wall Hotel, there have been people who have come to cause trouble for him, but Nie Wanlong is worthy of being called the gambling king of Asia.

Whenever he needs to take action personally, he can easily defeat his opponent.

Not only did Nie Wanlong help the hotel make money and win back face, he also took home several million in bonuses.

After the joke, everyone looked at Chu Xiangqian with even more admiration.

Even He Chaosheng, who was in charge of the business operations of the Great Wall Hotel, felt that he would never be able to come up with a plan to promote the hotel through a combination of movies and newspapers.

While he admired Chu Xiangqian more and more, he also felt a little embarrassed inside.

It shows that their continuous success is not a matter of luck at all.

After Chu Xiangqian laughed, he suddenly had an idea and asked everyone, "Do you want to add a plot in the movie where the Hong Kong gambling king easily defeats the Japanese gambling king?"

After saying that, Chu Xiangqian actually didn’t intend to listen to other people’s opinions, so he clapped his hands and continued, “Last October, when I went to Neon to watch the Olympics.

I found that some Japanese people are really rich nowadays.

He incited Hong Kong and Southeast Asian people's hostility towards Japan, and defeated the Japanese in the movie, and even helped the Japanese gang to defeat the Japanese gambling king hired by another Japanese force at the gambling table.

Not only will it arouse the dissatisfaction and competitiveness of the Japanese people, the movie will also do well at the box office in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.”

At this point, Chu Xiangqian made a phone gesture to Zhang Tianzhi, and then said, "Call He Guanchang and ask him to find a few screenwriters to write the script while preparing the equipment for filming."

Zhang Tianzhi nodded quickly and went to make a phone call.

He Chaosheng and others couldn't help but feel envious. Although making a movie was simple, all you had to do was have money and be willing to spend money to hire people.

But it is not so easy to start a film company that can produce more than a dozen films every year and still make money.

As for opening cinemas, at this time, the cinema chains in Hong Kong had long been squeezed out by Chu Xiangqian and Bai Fanyu's cinema chains, leaving only a dozen cinemas still open.

The Shaw Brothers Cinema Chain, which later became famous, only had two self-operated cinemas in Hong Kong Island until last year.

In the 4s and s, the Nanyang Cathay Cinema Chain, which was more prosperous than Shaw Brothers, only opened four cinemas in Hong Kong Island last year.

Many of the Chinese-language films produced by Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong and Singapore had to be produced in collaboration with Chu Xiangqian and screened in his cinema chains.

Of course, correspondingly, the films shot by Chu Films will also be distributed by Cathay Pacific in Southeast Asia.

Zheng Shufen joined this market without fear of losses. It is only a matter of time before Chu Xiangqian dominates the cinema market in Hong Kong Island.

After all, although not all films produced by this guy's film company are profitable, overall the profits are still good.

The ability to export to Taiwan and earn US dollars alone makes Chu's Films more profitable than any other film company in Hong Kong or even in East Asia.

This is especially true for martial arts films and erotic films. The former have good box office in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, so when they are sold to Universal Pictures, a few hundred thousand or even a million dollars is not a problem.

Guo Zhenhua made a movie for Chu Xiangqian back then. He made 1 yuan for the first one, 1 yuan for the second one, and yuan for the third one.

But last year, he was able to get a salary of 20 Hong Kong dollars for a martial arts film. The reason is that this guy has already gained a certain degree of fame in the female market.

If Guo Zhenhua produced a martial arts film himself, he would make more money.

As for erotic films, some were bought for US$50,000 or US$60,000, and the better ones were sold to Universal for around US$100,000.

But this type of film is cheap to shoot and can be shot at an astonishing speed.

The company won by quantity, from selling more than a dozen erotic films a year in the past two years to more than thirty films sold to Universal last year.

More than two million US dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is more than ten million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, not all of these thirty-odd films were shot by Chu himself.

More than a dozen of them were produced by film companies founded by Zhuyouzai, Baifanyu and the newcomer Camel.

Moreover, the market for these erotic films is not limited to North America.

Distribution in India, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and Europe can also earn millions of dollars.

With enough movies and a good one coming out from time to time, Chu Xiangqian and Bai Fanyu's cinema chain naturally made good profits.

Not to mention, Chu Xiangqian’s operation of cinema chains is no longer just a simple cinema chain.

Most of them are comprehensive real estate projects that combine shopping malls, entertainment cities and office buildings.

If Chu Xiangqian's attention had not been focused on film companies and cinema chains, the cinema chain would not have developed a 16-storey complex only in Causeway Bay.

After talking about the Great Wall Hotel, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but look at Zheng Yutong.

Just one sentence, “While the gold price abroad will not be affected in the short term, it is right to have extra funds and stock up a few more tons of gold.

besides,,,"

Chu Xiangqian suddenly stopped talking, pulled Zheng Yutong aside, and whispered, “Take advantage of the fact that Morgan Jr. and MacDonald are making a lot of money in the pearl business.

You can go and talk to them and try to open a Chow Tai Fook restaurant in New York and London to test the waters.

If it succeeds, we will have to consider going international in the future.”

Zheng Yutong was indeed interested; the market in Hong Kong Island was indeed too small.

Although Hong Kong's economy is active due to the development of finance, real estate and port industries, the corresponding prices and wages are extremely high, which has led to many tycoons having assets of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars.

But most of these people's wealth actually comes from the large amount of properties they own.

Having the opportunity to go global is basically an inevitable development trend for every Hong Kong company.

Chu Xiangqian added, "It would be best if we could jointly own the stores in both places with them. When the stores are open, I will give Elizabeth a set of Zhou Dafu jewelry as a birthday gift.

Once it appears in the newspaper, it should bring Zhou Dafu considerable attention.”

Zheng Yutong had no doubt whether Chu Xiangqian could persuade Elizabeth.

Last year, Chu Xiangqian said that he would invite Margaret to be the spokesperson for Chow Tai Fook.

Sure enough, just two months later, photos of Margaret wearing a crown appeared on the huge glass windows outside each Chow Tai Fook store.

The effect is naturally very good.

Now Chu Xiangqian just said that he would give Elizabeth a set of Zhou Dafu's jewelry as a gift.

Then Elizabeth only needs to wear it once in public, which is countless times easier than being a spokesperson.

That's why Zheng Yutong had no doubt whether he could do it.

The thought of Zhou Dafu’s jewelry appearing in all the newspapers in London, big and small, and worn by Elizabeth, made me feel sad.

Zheng Yutong was so excited that she almost grabbed Chu Xiangqian's hand and bowed down. She didn't care about anything else.

When Chu Xiangqian saw this, he rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Can't you be more capable?"

Zheng Yutong ignored Chu Xiangqian's ridicule and said with a stuttering tone, "That's the queen. How can I be as calm as you?"

After saying that, he looked up at Chu Xiangqian and said enviously, "It's good to be handsome."

"Get lost," Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "If you knew how much I spend on Margaret every year, calculated in millions of pounds, you wouldn't envy me anymore.

Not to mention, the cost of befriending Eliza and Philip is greater than Margaret’s.”

Zheng Yutong was not so easy to fool. "Come on, I don't know you yet. If you invest 1 million, you must be able to make a profit of 2 million, or even 5 million."

Chu Xiangqian could only shrug his shoulders. He did receive many times the rewards from Margaret, Eliza and Philip.

No, if we count the wealth hidden in the fund under Margaret's name, it may exceed tens of billions of dollars in the future.

This kind of return is simply a huge profit.

When his mood improved, Chu Xiangqian put his arm around Zheng Yutong's shoulders, but he didn't expect this guy to slap his hand away.

Then he complained unhappily, "Please, please consider the height difference between us."

Only then did Chu Xiangqian understand why this guy reacted so strongly.

He smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, I was wrong."

But because of this accident, Chu Xiangqian no longer wanted to continue talking.

After Zheng Yutong returned home, she thought about the situation and soon realized that Chu Xiangqian must have something to say to her.

Considering Chu Xiangqian's mood at the time, it might be an opportunity to make money.

He slapped himself in regret.

His action scared Mr. Zhou, his two uncles and Zheng Yutong's wife who were surrounding him and waiting to hear what was said at the party tonight.

After listening to Zheng Yutong's explanation, Mr. Zhou pointed at Zheng Yutong in annoyance.

Finally, he said helplessly, "You, you are usually so casual, why do you suddenly care about your height?"

Of course Zheng Yutong was too embarrassed to say that she was envious of Chu Xiangqian for winning Margaret's favor.

Not only did Margaret give birth to his children, she also didn't care at all that their relationship couldn't be made public, and she still followed Chu Xiangqian wholeheartedly.

The eldest brother-in-law frowned and thought for a while, then asked in disbelief, "Atong, you have such a good relationship with Chusheng. Chusheng will definitely not be angry with you for such an insignificant matter, so that he will not even do new cooperative business."

Zheng Yutong shook her head and said, "Achu is definitely not angry with me. He is usually very kind, generous, and loyal.

His credit is first-rate and his character is impeccable.

What you don't know is that the guy is actually very stingy.

No, it's petty-mindedness."

The Zhou family was stunned. Being petty is not a good thing.

Zheng Yutong sighed, "Forget it, it must be a good idea that came to him on a whim. That guy must have been in a very good mood at the time and wanted to show off to me, so he almost said it out loud.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what I was thinking at the time, and I suddenly slapped his hand away from my shoulder.

After this interruption, Ah Chu was unwilling to talk anymore."

After saying that, Zheng Yutong said "forget it", but he felt more and more regretful in his heart.

After thinking it over, he slapped himself in the face again.

"No, if I don't ask clearly, I won't be able to sleep well in the future. Besides, sometimes the ideas that guy suddenly comes up with can really make money, and they may even be good projects that can make a lot of money."

As he spoke, Zheng Yutong picked up the phone and called St. Maria Hospital.

Naturally, Zhou's father and sons watched him make the call with both worry and anticipation.

Chu Xiangqian was chatting with Xue Jinglan at the moment, and occasionally he would secretly wink at Feifei, Jinzhi and Jinxiu who were accompanying him tonight.

As for Aiyuan, Chu Xiangqian had already sent someone to send her back to rest.

Otherwise, during the day, only Master's Wife, Zhaodi and Pandi would be here.

Of course, Master's wife, Zhaodi and Pandi can definitely take good care of Xue Jinglan, not to mention that there are four nurses who take turns to accompany and care for her 24 hours a day.

But Aiyuan is the sister-in-law, so there are some things that are not easy to say to the master's wife, let alone to Zhaodi and Pandi. But for Aiyuan, the two of them can have many topics to talk about.

Aiyuan was also the first person to come into contact with Xue Jinglan, and she accepted this sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

It was only after arriving in Hong Kong that I realized that my eldest brother actually had several women.

She complained in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about Chu Xiangqian, which made her feel like helping her elder brother atone for his sins and getting closer to Xue Jinglan.

Feifei and the other two women certainly understand their men and what they mean by color.

The three women felt shy at the thought of having sex with him in the hospital, even though the villa-style ward was booked.

However, I felt a little bit of anticipation in my heart.

As Xue Jinglan was talking, she suddenly noticed that Feifei and the other two became a little quiet.

He turned around and glanced at Feifei and the other two, and soon saw that the three women's faces were slightly red, and they were somewhat evasive when looking at Chu Xiangqian.

I immediately guessed that it must be related to my man.

Fortunately, before Xue Jinglan could complain, Zhang Tianzhi knocked on the door and came in, "Boss, it's Mr. Zheng's call."

Chu Xiangqian chuckled, and after a little thought, he understood and said, "This guy is really impatient."

After saying that, he stood up to answer the phone.

A few minutes later, Chu Xiangqian continued to accompany his wife. As for Xue Jinglan starting to find fault, Chu Xiangqian didn't mind at all.

There is no intention to be angry at all.

A few sweet words and plans for the future of the unborn child quickly calmed down Xue Jinglan, who was full of dissatisfaction.

Feifei, Jinzhi and Jinxiu looked at each other and soon discovered that Chu Xiangqian had used the same trick against them before.

But even though she knows that her man is a playboy and that she can only believe half of his sweet words, she is still willing to be fooled by him.

On Zheng Yutong's side, after hanging up the phone, she could no longer hide the smile on her face.
