Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 75 Visiting Relatives in the Mainland
There is an extra HK$3200 million in DreamWorks Pictures' account.
Zhou Liang Shuyi was happy but also worried.

The company will definitely continue to make movies, but what kind of movies are suitable?

For the previous two films, the boss gave the outline of the script.

Although everyone was surprised, they would still follow Fang Hexuan's will.

Unexpectedly, both movies became huge hits.

Now, it is inevitable that some dependent thoughts have arisen in their minds.

Fang Hexuan immediately returned to the mainland to visit his relatives.

Before leaving, he needs to arrange the work schedules of various companies.

DreamWorks Pictures will produce four films in the first half of the year.
Fang Hexuan gave the script outlines for two films, namely "The Young Master" and "Lin Shirong".

The other two need directors.

Tsui Hark, who signed a contract with DreamWorks last year, has been writing the script for the past six months and I heard that he is almost done with it.

Fang Hexuan promised him that as long as there was a script, DreamWorks would definitely let him make it.

Another director is Zhang Guoming, who lost his job at ATV last year.
He approached DreamWorks, hoping to get investment from it to shoot his first film, "Pointing at the Soldiers."

Fang Hexuan thought about it and finally agreed.

He now needs to establish an image for DreamWorks that supports young filmmakers in pursuing their dreams.

In the future, he will hire more promising directors and actors.
Let DreamWorks in Hong Kong become a real star-making factory,
Completely establish its status in Greater China.

The Transformers toys produced by The Pokémon Company were distributed in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia at the end of last year.

Taking advantage of the influence of Christmas, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year and other festivals,
This toy from this company is sold out.

Its hot market situation was even reported on the front page of Hong Kong's English newspapers.

Currently, this Transformers toy is sold as a complete set.

A set costs 150 Hong Kong dollars, which is quite expensive and many working-class people cannot afford it.

But Fang Hexuan did not lower the price of Pokémon.

Brand new toys, brand new IP, if you don’t make more money in the early stage, how are you going to compete with those copycat manufacturers later?

That’s right, within three days of Transformers being on the market, it was copied by several toy companies.

Fang Hexuan was well prepared. Copyright proof and top patent lawyers were enough to give these trash a hard time.

However, even so, there is certainly no way to eliminate it.

At that time, Fang Hexuan would resort to price war.

Wanda Real Estate has not made any major moves since its acquisition of Golden Gate Tower.

Fang Hexuan personally comforted the employees and told them that the second half of the year would be the time for Wanda to take action.

There is nothing we can do if he tries to fool us like this.

Without money now, any big move is impossible.

In the first half of the year, Wanda could only watch as Hong Kong Land bought land and built buildings in Central.
They could only watch as Cheung Kong, Henderson Land, Sun Hung Kai and New World, the later "Four Musketeers of Hong Kong Real Estate", jointly bid for the Hong Kong government's Sha Tin reclamation project.

But it doesn't matter, the real estate feast has not yet officially begun.
Wanda Real Estate still has time to prepare.

On February 1979, 2, Fang Hexuan received an invitation from the Jiuhua Society Hong Kong Branch three days ago.

He officially entered the mainland with his mother, sister, Jiu Wenlong and several subordinates from the company.

This time, he did not travel with bigwigs like Pao Yue-kong and Fok Kwan-tai.

Because it is more private in nature, it is not easy to mix with the delegation.

You Bingwen was not allowed to follow because he was still needed to help manage the Hong Kong base.

After passing through customs, they, with the help of their escorts, boarded a green train heading for Shanghai.

In the luxury car, my mother looked at the scenery outside the car, her eyes were a little moist. She had been away from home for 20 years and had never returned. There was no contact between the two sides, so they must be worried about each other.

Lu Qiaoling's home is in Simen Town, Yuyao County, Ningbo. This time she went home mainly to visit her grandparents.

As for Fang Hexuan’s grandfather’s hometown, it is in Xiangshan. However, the Fang family moved out for too long.

Ningbo is not called NB City yet, it should be called Ningbo Regional Administrative Office.
It was not until 1983 that the office was abolished and the city was established.

Fang Hexuan was not sure whether the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce had any influence in this.

He only knew that Pao Yue-Kong had made great contributions to Ningbo.

This includes donating funds to establish Ningbo University, promoting Ningbo to become an open city, and developing Ningbo Port.

These three items alone are of great importance to Ningbo's subsequent development.

In later generations, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port became the world's largest port, thanks to Pao Yue-Kong's forward-looking vision and early planning.

Fang Hexuan’s grandfather is Lu Yucheng, 58 years old this year, and his grandmother is Su Xiuyun, 56 years old this year.

In addition, he has two uncles, Lu Dingguo (36 years old) and Lu Dingbang (33 years old).

Fang Hexuan's grandfather Fang Jingyao left Ningbo early to make a living in Hong Kong.
After I had a family business, I always missed my hometown.

Later, when the two sons got married,

He hoped that his youngest son, Fang Hexuan's father, Fang Jiawei, would return to Ningbo and marry a girl from his hometown.

This is why Lu Qiaoling came to Hong Kong in 1959.

Twenty years have passed and so many things have happened in the mainland. Lu Qiaoling is really worried about her family.

However, Fang Hexuan comforted her, saying that since the visit could take place, it meant that her grandparents were still fine.

This is indeed the case. When we arrived at my grandmother's house in the official minibus,

Received a warm welcome from the locals.

The sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums continued, and the road leading into the village was lined with villagers who came to watch the fun.

Fang Hexuan asked his subordinates to take out ten stacks of 1000 Great Unity notes.
Give it to Jiuwenlong, and ask the comrades from the office to accompany him to buy some snacks, and then distribute them to the villagers.

They exchanged their banknotes before entering customs, but only brought some daily necessities such as clothes and watches.

Lu Qiaoling found her home based on her memory and saw a large group of people standing at the door.

While she was still carefully identifying her relatives, an old lady who looked to be in her sixties rushed over, hugged her, and cried, "Son!"

This should be my grandmother Su Xiuyun. She looks a little older than her actual age, but her facial features are very delicate. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.

My mother recognized my grandmother and immediately hugged her and cried.

The scene of relatives reuniting is really tear-jerking.

Fang Luoyi next to him started sobbing, and Fang Hexuan also felt a chill in the corners of his eyes.

At this time, seven or eight more people came over, including a man who was obviously in his fifties or sixties, who should be my grandfather Lu Yucheng.

He doesn't look that old and is still a handsome old man.

The other two middle-aged men in their thirties were probably my uncles Lu Dingguo and Lu Dingbang. They were accompanied by their wives and children.

After Lu Qiaoling calmed down after crying, she hugged her father and two younger brothers tightly for a while.

Fang Hexuan and Fang Luoyi followed their mother very obediently, calling them grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt without any shyness.

The scene of the Lu family reuniting and recognizing each other after many years was fresh and interesting to the villagers.

But, I feel more envy!
I heard from the village party secretary that the nephew of the Lu family is a very wealthy boss in Hong Kong.

This family will be like a crow turning into a phoenix in the future, and they will be unattainable.

However, when every household in the village received gifts of meat, wine, fruits, candy, etc.
I also feel that this nephew, although not my own, is quite amiable.
