Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 934 The fight begins

Thanks to the large number of guests attending the premiere and after watching the movie, at least 9% of them praised the movie when interviewed by reporters.

When God of Gamblers was officially released the next day, the front pages of various newspapers were basically filled with reports about the movie.

The occupancy rate in the morning was 7% to %, and in the afternoon, it had risen to more than %.

After 5pm, tickets are hard to come by.

All 14 cinemas were basically full, and the box office revenue for the day exceeded 11.

According to this data, it is predicted that after one month of release, the box office of this movie will most likely break the record and exceed 200 million.

The next morning, when Zhou Wenhuai called Chu Xiangqian to report, he was so excited.

Chu Xiangqian was a little depressed. In his previous life, this movie grossed more than 300 million, but now, let alone million, it might not even make million.

But think about it, more than 500 years later, the population of Hong Kong Island exceeded million.

Now it is less than 300 million, and the population living in Kowloon and the prosperous areas of Hong Kong is actually only about 120 million.

According to Linda, the entire Yau Tsim Mong area has a permanent population of only a few hundred thousand, and with office workers, it is at most 150,000.

Wan Chai may only be around 40,000 or 50,000, while the Central and Western District where Central and Sheung Wan are located may be around 100,000.

The population in Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin, Kwai Tsing and Sham Shui Po has been increasing in recent years.

When statistics were counted last year, there were more than 200,000 people in Kowloon City.

Wong Tai Sin looks smaller than the Kowloon City District, but its population is no less than that of the Kowloon City District.

The main reason is simple: this place is close to the prosperous area and the housing prices are relatively cheap.

Kwai Tsing and Sham Shui Po attracted a large number of workers due to the expansion of the port, totaling more than 300,000.

Adding the more than 11 in the Eastern District of Hong Kong, the box office can reach a day, which is indeed approaching the upper limit.

The focus now is to increase publicity efforts in relatively remote areas.

If many young people in Southern District, Sham Shui Po, Kwai Tsing, Sai Kung, Sha Tin, Tai Po, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun knew that a movie was popular in theaters.

I would also take a bus to a busy area to watch this movie in advance.

Otherwise, these people will just wait for the movie to be released and for mobile broadcasters in the countryside to buy copies at a low price.

Go to an outdoor movie.

After Chu Xiangqian said all this to Zhou Wenhuai on the microphone, he ignored them and did not care about what they did.

Then in the morning we took a yacht to the Great Wall Hotel in Macau.

Check the hotel's operations, check the accounts personally, and then talk to He Chaosheng about how to take advantage of the gambling boom brought about by the movie to attract more customers to the hotel.

Otherwise, the biggest beneficiaries will be the red-letter casinos and small and medium-sized gambling dens in Hong Kong Island.

He Chaosheng makes this job, so of course he understands Chu Xiangqian's concerns.

He smiled and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, the hotel is already preparing discounts and promotions.

As soon as you enter the hotel, you will be given 10 yuan in chips.

The hotel also provides free hot dogs, sandwiches and tea.”

It is not popular for businesses to provide free services these days.

He Chaosheng thought of this so early, he really has a good business sense.

As for whether the chips given to the customers will turn around and exchange them for money and leave.

There are definitely people like this, but after coming here so many times, the hotel staff are not blind.

Even if you lose all the free chips and then have a free hot dog or sandwich at the hotel, the hotel will not do anything to you.

Anyway, hot dogs and other things are low-cost, and if you eat too much of them, you will inevitably feel good about the hotel.

After becoming rich, these people will inevitably play some tricks after spending a long time in the hotel environment.

As long as you come to play, the hotel will be the one that makes the final profit.

The more free food you eat, the more money you will have to pay to the hotel.

Moreover, the shareholders of the hotel also control the flying wing boat operating company. As long as you come, the hotel will provide you with food, accommodation, transportation and entertainment.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but give He Chaosheng a thumbs up.

He Chaosheng was so happy that he was in a good mood for many days.

But if you take a 10-dollar chip, exchange it for money and leave, don't blame the hotel for breaking your hands and feet.

Even if the customers knew about this, they would stand on the side of the hotel.

A few days after Chu Xiangqian returned to Hong Kong Island from the hotel, the number of guests at the Great Wall Hotel indeed increased significantly.

I was planning to return to London to continue accompanying Margaret, so that this girl would not accuse me of being untrustworthy.

I agreed to stay with her for two months, but I only stayed for half a month before leaving.

But I didn't expect a phone call to come to the villa on the top of the mountain.

When Chu Xiangqian hung up the phone, he couldn't help but get excited.

The Indians have been planning for more than half a year and are now ready to take action.

When I went to London some time ago, in addition to accompanying Margaret and my second son, I also made early arrangements in the London futures market.

But this time the Indians learned their lesson and did not take the initiative to provoke a fight.

Instead, they instigated and bribed hostile forces in the disputed area to jump out and cause trouble, and took the initiative to attack Tianzhu's outposts in the disputed area.

The Indians, who had been preparing for more than half a year, immediately counterattacked and easily defeated many enemies.

At least 5,000 enemies were killed.

Then the situation got out of control, and this time the Indians took the initiative.

Just one week after Chu Xiangqian received the call, the Indians not only defeated the enemies in the disputed area.

They also began to mobilize six well-prepared divisions and brought the war to Lao Ba's territory.

At this time, Chu Xiangqian not only did not stay in Hong Kong Island, but instead let Huang Diaoer board a plane to Tianzhu.

At the same time, he let the sparrow fly to Tianzhu to find the whereabouts of Zongli Lalba Hadur, and let Huang Diaoer keep an eye on him at all times.

I flew to London as soon as possible.

Anyway, the intelligence had already been sent to the Celestial Empire half a year in advance, and the necessary preparations had already been made.

Now that the fighting has really started, there is no need for me to stay in Hong Kong Island.

The most important thing for the Celestial Empire is to continue to provide intelligence to it.

Once the war breaks out, the quantity of all kinds of export goods from India will be affected.

Among them, the futures price of sugar will inevitably rise.

On the 9th, Lao Ba assembled a large number of troops to launch a counterattack against Tianzhu, and the initial results were quite significant.

Not only did they rescue their trapped people, but they also seized hundreds of square kilometers of land in the disputed area.

But the main force of India also took the opportunity to surround and infiltrate.

The battle lasted only five days before Lao Ba was completely defeated.

It was not until they retreated to the canal that they stabilized their situation.

After that, the two sides fought for control of the canal, and the battle was fierce.

But India has the support of Magnesium Woman and Polar Bear, and not only got a large number of fighter jets, but also a lot of tanks and other weapons.

According to outside assessments, the Indians should be able to gain air superiority soon.

Then, relying on the advantage in the number of tanks, the ground forces should also be able to make smooth progress.

But in fact, it was Lao Ba who seized air supremacy.

Not to mention Chu Xiangqian, even Margaret, who was listening to the radio with him, cursed that all Indians were trash.
