The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 277

Compared with the later Mac Dangxiong's "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", Zhang Jian's "Male Robber and Female Singer" has less unscrupulous hostility and more concern for human nature.

Ah Qiang and Ah Qing were originally kind students. After they were forced to smuggle to Hong Kong, they experienced great changes. In the end, one became a robber and was beaten to death on the street, while the other became a prostitute and also jumped off the fifth floor. , lying dead on the street.

They thought that Hong Kong was a free city full of gold, but they didn't expect it to be a materialistic and sinful city, which swallowed up this innocent man and woman.

Zhang Jian's film also expressed his dissatisfaction with Hong Kong's money supremacy, indifference to human relations, and rampant gangsters. It is a very good realistic film.

It was just because of the identity of the protagonist that Xu Guanwu had to ask him to change it, otherwise it would cause bad reactions if it was filmed.

At that time, there were countless people who sneaked into Hong Kong from the mainland. In many places, people smuggled over from one village to another, leaving only the widowed elderly and children on the other side.

Most of these mainlanders who came to Hong Kong worked hard and made great contributions to Hong Kong's economic development.Only a very small number will choose to engage in illegal things, but it is inevitable that there will be dead branches on the tree.

But the Hong Kong media are accustomed to exaggerating, and like to use violent and bloody news to increase the sales of their own newspapers.Therefore, under the overwhelming publicity, it seems that the people from the mainland who come to Hong Kong are male robbers and female singers, which can easily arouse the hostility of Hong Kong citizens towards the mainlanders.

Xu Guanwu can't prevent other film companies from making such films, but he can control the directors in his own company to absolutely not make such films that may arouse hatred.

And Zhang Guoming's "Yin Ling" really opened Xu Guanwu's eyes, and this kind of reversed ending is indeed unexpected.However, horror movies do not need to consider too much story logic except for violent and bloody movies in Europe and the United States, disaster movies and other movies. Get the most satisfaction.

Although the ending of "Yin Ling" is very innovative, it is a pity that there are many omissions in the middle story, and director Zhang Guoming needs to check and fill in the gaps, and carefully revise it.

Xu Guanwu finished reading four scripts, and it was already time to get off work in the afternoon.

"Ha!" He stood up from the boss chair, and was about to get off work and go home when the phone rang.

Xu Guanwu frowned, and reached out to answer the phone, but it turned out to be Daheng Huo's call, which made him smile, "Mr. Huo, it's me, yes, I'm back, thank you! Everyone is Chinese, yes! Good! "

After hanging up the phone, Xu Guanwu called home again and told the servant not to prepare his meal tonight.

After leaving the company, Xu Guanwu went directly to the Youming Hall.This is a private restaurant, which only entertains one table of guests every day, and the main food is Shanghai local cuisine.

In the late [-]s, many rich businessmen and bosses from Shanghai moved to Hong Kong, and at the same time brought Shanghai cuisine to Hong Kong.I think back then, Shanghai Shili Yangchang was many times more prosperous than Hong Kong.When rich businessmen from Shanghai came to Hong Kong, they not only brought well-produced Mandarin movies and Mandarin songs, but also local Shanghai cuisine became one of the top dishes in Hong Kong.

Youming Pavilion was transferred to Hong Kong with wealthy Shanghai businessmen back then. It did not purchase a large storefront, but was hidden in the basement of an office building in Central, with only a few small rooms.Only one table of banquets is prepared every day, and only one table of guests is entertained, but the price is ridiculously high.

Xu Guanwu usually treats guests out for dinner, even if it is a top-notch Tianjiuchi banquet, it only costs [-] Hong Kong dollars.But a meal at Youming Pavilion costs at least [-] Hong Kong dollars, and there is no discount to beat!Although it is so expensive, for those wealthy gourmets, it is still worth it to have a meal here and have a satisfying taste.So although the price of Youming Pavilion is outrageously expensive, the business is really outrageously good.

Xu Guanwu had never heard of the Youming Pavilion before, but he knew the building in Central. Even though there are many high-rise buildings in Central, that building still stands out from the crowd and can be called a landmark building.The owner of the private restaurant who can open a restaurant in the basement under this building is absolutely extraordinary.

Xu Guanwu came to the building by car, and then, under the guidance of the staff waiting there, he arrived at the Youming Pavilion in a strange way. Xu Guanwu felt as if he was walking through a maze along the way.

"This restaurant is really well hidden." Xu Guanwu couldn't help thinking, if he didn't have an acquaintance to lead him, he really wouldn't be able to find such a restaurant.

When he came to Youming Pavilion, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Looking at the decoration of the restaurant in front of him, he felt that it was antique and had a feeling of traveling through time and space.

Entering inside, there was a burst of coolness, but Xu Guanwu knew that it was not the cold air from the air conditioner, but the natural coolness in the deep basement, which made people feel very natural and very comfortable.

The layout of the store is a bit like a Suzhou garden, with one step and three scenes, and there are ingenuity everywhere, as if you are in a painting.

"Oh, who did this decoration, it's really amazing." Xu Guanwu said in surprise. He saw a lot of ancient buildings on the set, but the only one that could make him feel such beauty was "Golden Jade Liangyu A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Li Hanxiang With this Youming Pavilion.

There were not many people in the Youming Pavilion, everything seemed very quiet, and no noise of walking around could be heard.But the fish in the pond, the birds on the shelf, and the blooming flowers do not make people feel dead.In short, it feels as if this world exists for you alone, clean, beautiful and spotless...

While relaxing and admiring the scenery along the way, Xu Guanwu walked across the stone bridge with nine turns and eighteen bends under the guidance of the staff, and came to a bamboo pavilion floating on the water.

"Mr. Xu, welcome, welcome." Huo Daheng was sitting there drinking tea, when he saw Xu Guanwu coming, he quickly got up and greeted him.

"Mr. Huo, hello." Xu Guanwu smiled, stepped into the bamboo pavilion, and then chose a seat to sit down.

"Come on, let's have a taste, the famous Biluochun in Dongting, it's a special offer, you can't see it outside." Huo Yingdong said with a smile.

"Thank you." Xu Guanwu nodded, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp, "Good tea, good tea!"

Huo Daheng looked at it and couldn't help smiling, "Tell Sister Wang, get ready to serve."

The clerk nodded, turned around and retreated.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being a little puzzled, thinking that if he invited me to dinner and wouldn't let me order, did he take me seriously?
Seeing Xu Guanwu's puzzled eyes, Huo Yingdong couldn't help smiling, "There is no fixed menu in Youming Restaurant. The boss always chooses the most seasonal vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, meat, etc. for the dishes."

Xu Guanwu nodded, thinking that this would be fun, no matter how high or low a table of dishes is, the minimum is 5 Hong Kong dollars, if the boss brings up a table of green vegetables, it will be really fun.

After a while, the wine and dishes were served one after another. The wine was aged flower carvings, and the dishes were local dishes from Shanghai with thick oil and red sauce.

"Mr. Xu, if I'm not mistaken, your ancestral home is also Panyu in eastern Guangdong, right?" Mr. Huo Yingdong asked with a smile.

"That's right." Xu Guanwu nodded, but said in his heart, "I'm actually from Yanzhao."

"That's really a coincidence, I'm also from Panyu in eastern Guangdong." Huo Yingdong said with a smile, "Speaking of it, we are still from the same hometown."

"Oh, that's such a coincidence." Xu Guanwu also said in surprise.In Hong Kong, due to the large number of foreign forces, they all pay more attention to local concepts, and are willing to get together to avoid being bullied by others, such as the Chaozhou Gang, the Shanghai-Shanghai Gang, the Fujian Gang, the Hakka Gang, and so on.

Eastern Guangdong merchants are not as famous in Hong Kong as the Chaozhou Gang and the Shanghai Gang, but their potential strength is no less than that of other chambers of commerce.

"Yeah, so little fellow, we will work together in the future to contribute to the development of the country." Huo Yingdong said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely, for the sake of the country, I will do whatever it takes." Xu Guanwu also hurriedly said with a smile.

Hearing Xu Guanwu's statement, Huo Daheng was very happy, "Come, try Sister Wang's cooking, her private cooking is not something that ordinary people can taste."

Xu Guanwu nodded, and picked up a piece of pot to burn the river eel. Before holding it, he could smell a strong smell of meat. The delicious meat is crunchy, and all the taste seeps into the eel meat, and the mouth is full of oil after one bite, which is really memorable.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Seeing that Xu Guanwu was eating happily, Huo Yingdong couldn't help but said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded, thinking that a seat of 5 yuan is really extraordinary.

Afterwards, the hibiscus chicken slices, hairy crab in soy sauce, crystal shrimp, rock sugar turtle, bad chicken, bad water rice and so on also had their own flavors, which made Xu Guanwu almost unable to stop eating with chopsticks.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two stopped their chopsticks, and it was time to talk about something serious.

"Mr. Huo, I have prepared 500 million US dollars, but I don't know how to bring them into the mainland?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"It's inappropriate to bring US dollars directly into the mainland, and we don't do cash transactions." Huo Yingdong smiled, knowing that Xu Guanwu entered the mainland for the first time, so he didn't understand many things, but the first time he went, he brought more than 2000 million. This pride is indeed the number one in Hong Kong.

Huo Yingdong also encouraged many businessmen to go to the mainland with him before, but these businessmen were all trembling and timid. The first time they went was to investigate and see the world. It was rare for Xu Guanwu to bring more than 2000 million when he went. It was like giving birth. It's not called having a child, it's called a servant.

From the 70s to the 80s, for a long period of time, domestic foreign exchange reserves did not reach double digits. If more than 2000 million US dollars is really earned, it can really greatly ease the domestic foreign exchange tension.

After World War II, the U.S. dollar has been used as an international currency.Although the official exchange rate of the RMB issued in the Mainland has always been there, in fact it has not been recognized by the international community.That is to say, RMB can be circulated in China, but it is like waste paper abroad.

Therefore, if the mainland needs to purchase machinery and equipment, high-tech products, imported technology, etc. internationally, it must pay the internationally circulated U.S. dollars.This requires a large amount of foreign exchange reserves as backing, but until 1978, my country's foreign exchange reserves were only 1.67 million U.S. dollars, and from 1978 to 1989, the foreign exchange reserves did not exceed 50 billion U.S. dollars, which made the country face a huge foreign exchange pressure.

So for a long time, "earning foreign exchange through export" has become a very resounding slogan.

"Then how should I give the money to the country?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

"I suggest you deposit it in the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China, and then conduct business with the mainland through them." Huo Yingdong suggested.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "It's my first time going to the mainland, so is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Don't regard the mainland as a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. In fact, we are very welcome there." Huo Yingdong said with a smile, "But there is still a little reminder, just four words: be cautious in your words and deeds!"

"I understand." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Then do I need to apply for any documents when I go there? How many days in advance do I need to prepare?"

"Don't worry, we will handle special matters, and leave everything to me." Huo Yingdong said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu was relieved and continued to clean up the cups and dishes.
