87 The Forest Is Not Afraid of the Wind (4000-word chapter)

The next day, Evans led the film crew of "Run Lola Run" to New York for its premiere at the Broadway Olympia Theatre.Prior to this, they had taken turns to promote the movie in the media from the day of shooting, and the streets and alleys these days were full of posters of Jane Fonda running anxiously, waving her red ponytail.

Tan Jiabao and Deborah stayed in the apartment, waiting for the arrival of the people from Los Angeles.Deborah has bought the papers from Los Angeles.Tan Jiabao read the newspaper seriously.

"Run Lola Run" had its premiere in California yesterday, and the response was extremely strong.The entertainment pages of almost every newspaper in California carried the spectacle of the premiere of "Run Lola Run," as well as reviews of "Run Lola Run."

The first thing he saw was the Los Angeles Daily News, with the headline "Why Didn't Lola Hit?" in the entertainment section.Tan Jiabao was startled, thinking that this was a provocative article, but after a closer look, he realized that it was an in-depth article.

Tan Jiabao handed the newspaper to Deborah and said, "Didn't you also ask this question? Why didn't Laura call? Please take a closer look, here is the answer."

Deborah finished the newspaper and muttered: "You know that people can speak English well, but reading articles is not good..." Although she said so, she still began to read selectively: "Because this is a movie, you can only do it by running. It may radiate human emotions, warm and strong, and the speed is burning anxiety and endless courage. Love and fate, chance and necessity, life is not a cycle, time travels in the running, even if there is a glimmer of hope, use it This is the reality that is higher than life. In fact, we are always running for our lives, but our goals are vague and distant. Laura is happy. She relies on running to save the future. Only with love There is a future. This is the instinct that people are born with, as if all creatures use the running posture to save themselves at the most critical moment... Lola has no choice but to run, only at the moment of tragedy, she has the right to stop ...You can express doubts about the philosophical thinking of the Chinese, but you will not express doubts about the artistic conception of these two talented Chinese screenwriters and directors..."

"Do you know why she didn't fight?"

"Understood, it's because you, a talented Chinese screenwriter, didn't let her fight! If she could fight, you wouldn't have this movie. Poor Jane Fonda was made to run dozens of kilometers every day by you, and she ran continuously For three days!"

"Haha, although she is tired enough, she will definitely be grateful to me. Do you believe it?"

"Faith—in this world, apart from your relatives and Miss Chen, I may be the one who believes in you the most! I believe almost every word of yours!"

Tan Jiabao shook his head with a wry smile, he stopped talking, but opened the newspapers one by one, carefully looking for some critical and critical articles, but he was very disappointed, there were so many newspapers, there was no one criticizing and accusing "Lola" Run" article.If there is, it is a summary of the goofy scenes in "Run Lola Run". The author of this article watched carefully and found 12 goofy scenes in the whole film.But he finally pointed out: "A film that took only three days to shoot has only 12 goofy shots, which shows the rigor of the director's work and the high efficiency of post-production work. The 12 goofy shots can't explain anything. , They have an idiom in China called "Blemishes do not hide beauty", that is to say, one or two spots on a piece of beautiful jade cannot cover up the beauty of the whole piece of jade. Therefore, after watching "Run Lola Run" three times in a row, I can only praise "Run Lola Run" "Run Lola Run" cheers!"

Just then the doorbell rang.Deborah jumped up and said, "They're here, they're finally here, I'm going to open the door."

When Deborah opened the door, her smile froze immediately, because it was not Chu Yuan and the others standing at the door, but a thin, dark middle-aged Chinese man.

"Excuse me, miss, does Mr. Tang Xiao live here?" the middle-aged Chinese said in his not-so-fluent Mandarin.

"Who is sir?" Deborah asked friendly.

The middle-aged Chinese smiled and said, "My name is Huo Yingdong, from Hong Kong."

"Oh, it's Mr. Huo, please come in..." Tan Jiabao once told her that a big boss from Hong Kong might come over during this period, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Did Mr. Huo come alone?" Deborah led the way while chatting with Huo Yingdong.

Huo Yingdong said flatly: "The driver and two secretaries are in the car, I didn't ask them to come with them."

At the door, Deborah stopped and said politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform Mr. Tang Xiao, so that he can welcome you in person."

Huo Yingdong frowned, feeling upset, thinking that this mockery was too pretentious.Does he really think that no one can help me except Tang Xiao?

After a while, a child came out.With a smile all over his face, he clasped his fists and said, "I don't know that Mr. Huo is here today. Tang Xiao is far away from welcoming him. It's a sin."

"Which show is this playing with me?" Huo Yingdong seemed to have fallen into the clouds, and he didn't react for a long time.In his mind, this Tang Xiao must be at least in his 30s. How could such a young kid call himself Tang Xiao?Is this joke too far?

"Mr. Huo, please sit down. I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink? I have good Tieguanyin, Biluochun and Junshan Yinzhen here."

Huo Yingdong sat down. He believed that the other party was really Tang Xie, so he said, "I know Mr. Tang Xie is from South Chu. You can drink Junshan Yinzhen as you like."

After a while, Deborah brought up the soaked Junshan Yinzhen.

Seeing Tan Jiabao's calm expression, Huo Yingdong felt a little interesting, so he said: "Mr. Tang Xiao has become a man of the hour in Hong Kong for more than a month. I didn't expect to come to the United States, and he immediately went to Los Angeles and New York. The wind and water have flourished within a short period of time, which makes me, an old man, a little envious, haha, what a skill."

Tan Jiabao shook his head and said, "Mr. Huo, don't call me Mr. Tang Xie, I can't bear it, call me Tang Xie. Mr. Huo has also seen it. I did these things, that is, to act recklessly, plus some It's just good luck. How can someone like me compare with Mr. Huo, who with his own real kung fu, with one knife and one gun, comes in the wind and rain, goes up the mountain and goes to the sea to go through untold hardships? Argument?"

"Haha, I love to hear that! When I was young, I suffered a lot. I really did 'go up the mountain and go to the sea'. I remember that one year I stayed on a small island for nearly a year in order to find medicinal materials in the sea. In a year, my hair has grown so long." Huo Yingdong felt that this sentence was very useful, so he sighed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Tang Xiao, don't always be 'Mr. Huo', 'Mr. Huo' 'Call me, am I really old? Just call me Mr. Huo, or simply call me Lao Huo."

Tan Jiabao said with a smile: "But according to Mr. Huo's orders!"

Huo Yingdong laughed and said: "People can't be too arrogant, but they don't have to be too humble, especially in front of me. The stock you made in the United States called btta is the most mysterious and classic case of stock speculation in the stock market. Ah. I have been in New York for several days, and my ears have been filled with this matter for the past two days. Hehe, don’t think that you are doing it very covertly. In fact, there are not many real secrets in this circle. "

Tan Jiabao thought that this incident had already reached the ears of foreigners like Huo Yingdong just after it was over, and it was conceivable that it was no secret in the American securities industry. Thinking of this, he sighed: "Hey, I just I didn't expect this news to spread so quickly. Fortunately, I didn't do any illegal operations this time, otherwise it would be miserable."

"In the United States, evidence is required for everything. If you haven't violated any regulations, then I can rest assured. It is said that you earned at least nine figures of dollars this time?" Fok Yingdong asked with concern.

Tan Jiabao said sternly: "To be honest with Mr. Huo, I made more than one billion US dollars this time. Now I am investing in another batch of stocks. Let's try to double it again."

Huo Yingdong couldn't help being shocked when he heard what he said, thinking that I have worked so hard for most of my life, but I can't make up for this kid for just a few dozen days?His money came too fast, right?He froze for a moment, and then said: "You really scared me. You are so powerful, if a few years pass, will us old guys still be messing around?"

Tan Jiabao laughed and said: "To be honest with Mr. Huo, I have known many things in this world since I was born. This is also the reason why I was lucky enough to make so much money in such a short period of time. Therefore, I can only pretend to be mysterious I really don’t want to be famous at my age, it will be very bad for me in the future. Hehe, of course it will scare a lot of people. I’m afraid that everyone will treat me as a monster, and I’ll be done.”

"Actually, you are indeed a little monster. It's really scary. Haha, don't worry, you trust me so much. I won't tell anyone about you." Seeing Tan Jiabao's sincerity , Huo Yingdong began to feel happy.

Tan Jiabao continued: "If Mr. Huo can trust me, then after my business is over, how about we do a little business together?"

Huo Yingdong smiled. He looked at Tan Jiabao and said, "Haha, with your current strength, do you still need to recruit people to do business?"

Tan Jiabao said sternly again: "The world is so big, there is gold everywhere, and there are US dollars and Japanese yen everywhere. I can't eat so much by myself. Besides, Mr. Huo, you are one of the few businessmen in Hong Kong who deserve my respect." .I respect you!"

"Thank you, hehe, if I refuse again, I will spoil the scenery. Having said so much, I actually came here to ask for your help. You must already know the basic situation."

Tan Jiabao nodded and said: "The location of Starlight is very good, I bought it! 5000 million yuan!"

Huo Yingdong laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward! You can actually offer a lower price."

"Yeah, if I offer 4000 million, or the same price as Landmark, I think Mr. Huo will still choose to sell it to me, because I am Chinese after all. But I won't do that. Starlight is now worth 5000 million , maybe in a few years it will rise to hundreds of millions, or even billions!" Tan Jiabao said frankly.

Huo Yingdong sighed and drank the teacup in one gulp.At this moment, Deborah filled the tea for him again.Huo Yingdong said with a sigh: "I have been in business for so long, and it has been a long time since I have discussed business in such a candid atmosphere. I will tell you the truth. I have received reliable news. Now the British Hong Kong government wants to block me, and I am already a People on the blacklist of the US government, so I will have a hard time in Hong Kong in the future, I want to gradually withdraw from the business in Hong Kong, first of all, I will withdraw from the real estate industry."

Tan Jiabao knew that Huo Yingdong was in trouble, but he didn't want to take advantage of him, so he said frankly: "Have you thought about it? I know, you still have a worry that the sports in the mainland will spread to Hong Kong, right? Actually , don’t worry about it, the movement in Hong Kong will pass soon.”

Huo Yingdong sighed and said: "Hey, I still decided to step back temporarily to have a look. To be honest, I can't see many things clearly now. Maybe it's better to get out."

Tan Jiabao shook his head and said, "I'm the opposite of you. After I've settled this business, I will acquire one or two large film companies in Hollywood, USA, and several high-tech companies in San Francisco, and then return to Hong Kong to make a big splash." , I think it will definitely make a considerable profit!"

Huo Yingdong looked at him with admiration and said: "You are similar to me when I was young. If you dare to think and fight, you will definitely let me look up to you in the future! But I want to remind you that a big tree attracts wind."

Tan Jiabao nodded and said: "I have considered this point. Hong Kong is still dominated by British capital. But, here I am! I just want to acquire a few British-funded enterprises to increase my prestige as a Chinese! This will make the British even more People dare not underestimate us Chinese."

"Well said!" Huo Yingdong stood up and said, "We Chinese businessmen have been angry enough with the British. In retrospect, there are also people here who will only swallow their anger and dare not offend them easily. This will further fuel their arrogance. You What does Hong Kong look like now? Do you still have civil rights and people's livelihood? All this is because we are not strong enough!"

He sat down, thought for a while, and continued: "Just now I said that the tree attracts the wind because the tree is not big enough, just like me. If the tree is big enough, it will become a forest, and it will not be afraid of attracting the wind. Don't you think so? So I support you!"

As he said that, he took out a stack of documents from his bag, handed them to Tan Jiabao, and said, "This is some of my land and properties in Hong Kong. I was going to sell them gradually, at a better price, and then fade out of the real estate industry." Yes. Now that I met you, I decided to buy all of these for you. Including the star building at the beginning, the total is 9.8 million Hong Kong dollars! I wonder if you can eat it?"
