The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 307
During the Spring Festival in [-], the citizens of Hong Kong spent it with laughter and laughter. Not only did the Xu brothers present a delicious meal "Half Catty Eight Liang", TVB also joined forces with the Xu family to present a Spring Festival party for everyone.

"Half a Catty" was the first movie in the 70s in Hong Kong to have a box office of over 800 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was also the only movie with a box office of over 800 million Hong Kong dollars.At a time when a box office of more than one million was considered a blockbuster, Xu's movie with a box office of more than 800 million was undoubtedly a blockbuster, comparable to "Titanic" in the 90s and a sharp work of "Avatar" in the new century.

Moreover, when the film was re-screened in the 80s, it still broke the record of Hong Kong film re-screening, not to mention that the film caused a sensation when it was released in Japan. A popular Hong Kong movie star.

They have conquered Japanese audiences with their unique comedy style, and they are affectionately called MR.BOO (Mr. Cloth), and their popularity remains unchanged until now, and there are also a large number of websites about the Xu Brothers.

Compared with Xu Brothers' "Half a Catty Eight Liang", "The Adventures of Emperor Qianlong", "Shaolin Temple" contributed by Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest's "Shenquan Three Heroes" and "Jianghu Children" are inevitably inferior.

"The Adventures of Emperor Qianlong" is starring Ti Lung. Originally, he had the opportunity to star in the masterpiece "The End of the World" directed by Chu Yuan.It's a pity that Shao Brothers was unwilling to let him go, so he just dragged him to film "The Adventures of Emperor Qianlong".As a result, judging from the box office released, "The Adventures of Emperor Qianlong" only had a box office of 300 million Hong Kong dollars.However, "Tianya Mingyue Knife" was nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars, which was obviously a big win.

With this movie, Qin Pei also became a popular martial arts star from Wannian green partner, and his younger brother Er Dongsheng also won the audience because of his delicate and handsome appearance. their favourites.

In comparison, Ti Lung missed the good opportunity to star in "The Knife at the End of the World". Although he is still a first-line Shaw Brothers student, he also lost the opportunity to go to the next level. It is really a pity.

And at the Spring Festival Gala held by TVB, Xu and top TVB artists also went out together, presenting one after another joyous and festive Spring Festival feast to the audience.Among them are idol singers such as Winner Band and Zhang Guorong, powerful singers such as Xu Guanjie and Xu Xiaofeng, TV stars such as Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan, and movie stars such as Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao...

Among them, the two brothers Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie starred in the special edition of "Double Stars Announce Happy New Year" again after many years of separation. They are still so humorous and funny, and they are still so sharp and happy. Double Stars Annunciation", and then was teased by the joyful scene of leaning forward and back together.

Hong Kong's economy recovered in [-], the unemployment rate dropped, and many families bought new TV sets, so this Spring Festival Gala is undoubtedly a very good memory for them.And this Spring Festival Gala also received extremely high ratings and aroused great repercussions in the society.Later, it became TVB's annual practice.

Compared with TVB's innovative programs, Jiayi and Li's are a bit old-fashioned. They only broadcast a special program for the Spring Festival, but there are not so many stars to join them, and there is not such a good stage picture, so the ratings The rate appears to be dismal.

In fact, this is also because Li's itself is a British-owned company and does not pay enough attention to the Chinese festival of the Spring Festival, so the programs broadcast are just casual and not loved by Hong Kong citizens.

As for Jiayi TV Station, it is because there are not enough stars. Although Shaw Brothers has a lot of stars like a sky full of stars, they are all movie stars. It is a bit difficult for them to sing.

But Jiayi TV's own stars can't support the scene, and the starlight after a special program is dim. They are all Jiayi TV's own TV stars. How can they compare with TVB's TV stars, movie stars, Domineering from a popular singer? !
So compared to the next day when the citizens praised TVB for its good songs, good dances, and good shows, but Jiayi TV didn’t even mention it. You know how failed they are with their Chinese New Year special show.

……

TVB and Xu's got off to a good start in the Spring Festival, which is really a very happy thing.During the Spring Festival, Xu Guanwu took his wife Zhao Yazhi to various banquets as usual.

He is now a prominent figure in Hong Kong's high society. Not only the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce invited him to attend, but he was also invited to attend banquets held by British foreign firms.

In fact, business people in this world are always looking for money rather than money, especially the executives of British-funded foreign firms are more transparent, as long as there is money to be made, they can cooperate together.Back then NATO banned the sale of weapons to the mainland, but later on, for their own interests, countries still scrambled to deal with the mainland?!
During the Spring Festival of [-], the banquet held by the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency was much simpler. It was just a gathering of patriotic businessmen, a cup of tea, and a few melon seeds. There were no singing and dancing performances, and no banquet was prepared.Everyone expressed their understanding of this arrangement. After all, [-] was a year full of disasters for the mainland.

At the tea party, everyone talked about the Canton Fair.Because of the death of a great man last year, the mainland was full of mourning, so the autumn Canton Fair was temporarily suspended.Businessmen in Hong Kong are looking forward to the smooth holding of the Canton Fair in April this year, because they are really out of stock, and the goods exported from the mainland are really too cheap.

Xu Guanwu bought 500 million US dollars of goods in a big way last year. In order to get all this huge sum of foreign exchange, the major wineries in the mainland worked hard for a whole year, and they rushed to get out the goods in time.When it comes to the Canton Fair again this year, everyone can't help but look at Xu Guanwu.

"Little fellow, do you want to bring more things this year?" Huo Yingdong asked jokingly. The batches of goods shipped to Hong Kong last year were piled up as high as a building.And Xu Guanwu himself has no sales channels, so this batch of goods can only be dropped in his hands.

From Huo Yingdong's point of view, Xu Guanwu is doomed. The goods worth 500 million US dollars are in his hands. If he can't sell them, he probably won't be able to use them up in his lifetime. Moved by patriotism.

"Okay, help me purchase another 2000 million US dollars of liquor." Xu Guanwu immediately waved his hand when he heard Huo Yingdong's words.

puff!
Huo Yingdong took a sip of strong tea, so he didn't choke on Xu Guanwu's words.How can there be such a business? You obviously still have 500 million US dollars of goods in your hand, and now you want to buy 2000 million US dollars of goods. Your money is really not money!

All the businessmen present couldn't help but look at Xu Guanwu in doubt, wondering if you can do business or can't do business?Doing business naturally requires high profits, quick return of money and low risk. You spend money in your hands when you buy goods like this, but you have violated all these three iron laws. Is there still such a thing in business?
"Mr. Xu, your idea of ​​supporting the country's construction is good, but it seems to be a big burden for you to buy a large amount of working capital and store it in goods. I think it's better not to do this." Liang Weilin waved his hand very Tactfully persuaded.

He knew that even if Huo Yingdong was such a rich tycoon, if there were more than 2000 million goods in his hands, he would not know how long it would take to sell them, and he would have to eat and sleep in a hurry.It is true that a large amount of foreign exchange is needed for domestic economic construction, but if Hong Kong businessmen are to be burdened by this, it is not what the mainland would like to see.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take it as a collection." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and explained.

Everyone couldn't help curling their lips when they heard it. Do you want to collect it? !What is bad for collecting? Antiques, gold, and cultural relics are worth collecting. How can you collect liquor, tea, and mahogany furniture?How many years will it take for this thing to appreciate in value?
"Little fellow, if you like to collect, how about I buy some porcelain for you later? JDZ's porcelain is very beautiful." Huo Yingdong couldn't help suggesting after hearing Xu Guanwu's words.

Since ancient times, China has been known as a porcelain empire, and JDZ porcelain is well-known all over the world. If it is collected for 200 years, it can really sell for a high price.But it is estimated that Xu Guanwu's generation will not see it.

Xu Guanwu listened to Huo Yingdong's suggestion but shook his head. He had never heard of JDZ's porcelain being speculated in his previous life, but he heard that blue and white and Yuan blue and white had been auctioned for sky-high prices, but he also knew that they were all cultural relics, and it was impossible in the mainland Exports.

Besides, I am basically not interested in collecting antiques. There are too many antiques in China, and there is a story behind every antique.If you want to collect antiques, you must be able to understand its story, and this is a very energy-consuming thing.

Xu Guanwu thought to himself that he didn't have the patience to study hard, so he naturally stayed away from collecting antiques.However, he started to have a little interest in collecting watches. Watches, especially world-class watches, are not only a timekeeping tool, but also a status symbol.

Xu Guanwu has now collected more than ten watches, all of which are limited editions produced by famous Swiss watches, and there may be only a few in Hong Kong.If it weren't for Xu Guanwu's extraordinary status and status, he wouldn't be able to buy it at all.And his most proud collection is the watch specially customized for all super customers of the bank after Shen Bi took over as the chairman of HSBC.

The so-called super customers refer to those who have more than [-] million U.S. dollars in deposits in HSBC and have a net worth of more than [-] million U.S. dollars.People of this level are rare even in Hong Kong, and Xu Guanwu happens to be one of them.

And Xu Guanwu's interest in collecting famous watches was learned from Shen Bi.As an executive of HSBC, Shen Bi doesn't have many hobbies, but collecting famous watches is one of his greatest hobbies.Xu Guanwu got along with him a lot, and he often heard him talk about the benefits of collecting watches, so he couldn't help becoming interested.So every time a famous watch arrived in Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu would fight with Shen Bi.

However, his current collection of famous watches is only at the introductory stage, while Shen Bi has been collecting watches for some years, and he plans to publish a book on collecting watches to promote it.

Seeing that Xu Guanwu was not interested in purchasing JDZ porcelain, Huo Yingdong couldn't help suggesting, "Since you are not interested in porcelain, how about I buy you some handicrafts? Mainland jade, ivory carvings, wood carvings, etc. are all good. It’s also quite popular. If you don’t have a sales channel, I can help you sell it slowly.”

"That's good too. Buy me some handicrafts and some liquor too." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

"I remember that you don't seem to drink at all, why are you so interested in storing baijiu?" Huo Yingdong couldn't help asking curiously.

Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, and Huo Yingdong couldn't explain it, and the reason for the rise of liquor in later generations was actually very difficult to explain.In fact, Xu Guanwu would rather the price of high-end liquor is not so high, and not make so much money; he also does not want the price of liquor to remain high, so that he can make a lot of money.Xu Guanwu's mood is actually very contradictory.

"Maybe I was born to be an alcoholic, but God just forbids me to drink alcohol. This is probably God's punishment for me." Xu Guanwu explained.

Hearing what he said, everyone here couldn't help laughing, this Xu Daheng is really a wonderful person.
