He Yisheng quickly determined that the extras on the set, even the 18th-tier stars, were indeed suitable to be reporters.
And these guys can even work part-time. As long as they have enough money to buy information, they will be very motivated to inquire about various information and find out celebrity gossip.
He said hurriedly, "Boss, I will take people to the Diamond Head Studio and Clear Water Bay Studio this afternoon."
Chu nodded forward and said with a smile, "I stopped by the set of "Snake Man" and took a few photos to warm up for the movie."
He Yisheng hurriedly agreed, "When the time comes, it will be written in the newspaper that the director of this movie is the director of 'Futon'. I believe that the audience who has seen Futon will be very interested in going to the cinema to watch it."
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth. Those viewers who entered the cinema with the intention of seeing beautiful women must have scolded them when they finally watched it and found that there was not even a single actress in the whole movie.
But if you curse, you might attract more viewers to watch it.
"By the way, we will add a 'Looking for Food' column in newspapers in the future. Each issue will introduce a dish, starting with local dishes on Hong Kong Island that are well received by neighbors.
These dishes can be from the eight major cuisines, including roast goose and roast chicken.
Even if someone’s pineapple buns or egg tarts are good, or which food stall is delicious, you can write about it. "
He Yisheng was stunned for a moment, and then mistakenly thought that Chu Xiangqian was eyeing the local catering industry in Hong Kong Island and the demand for advertising. The purpose was naturally advertising fees.
After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed something going on, so I agreed immediately.
Little did he know that Chu Xiangqian's purpose was not that simple. English cuisine is notoriously dark, and Hong Kong people can easily find confidence in their food.
Even if this kind of confidence is not worth mentioning in terms of artillery, technology and economy, it can be regarded as an affirmation of the Chinese culture. If it is done, it is better than no one.
When the newspaper develops and starts publishing supplements, food will be followed by beautiful scenery, handicraft inheritance, calligraphy, painting, porcelain, etc., and you can always find something better than abroad.
It can also be regarded as a kind of subtle cultural propaganda.
After making certain achievements and returning to the mainland to invest in 20 or 30 years, the treatment will definitely be more favorable than that of ordinary rich people.
Besides, this is also good for current newspaper sales and advertising fees.
After having a working meal at the newspaper office, He Yisheng was worried at first that Chu Qianqian, the big boss, wouldn't be used to it.
He wanted his secretary to order some stir-fries, but was stopped by Chu Qianqian.
But for Chu Xiangqian, in the mainland, he could eat steamed buns with fried cabbage, but now rice with one meat and one vegetable is already good.
Of course, Chu Xiangqian has been in Hong Kong Island for so long, and his appetite has indeed been developed.
After staying at the newspaper office for another half an afternoon, I carefully understood the general situation of the newspaper office, and then I drove He Yisheng and several employees to the Diamond Head studio.
After entering the crew, Chu Xiangqian did not disturb the crew's normal shooting. He just explained a few words to the set manager and asked him to take He Yisheng and others to gather some group performers and select suitable reporters.
When the crew finished work in the evening, San Jiangshui hurried over and whispered, "Boss, Barrister Huang is here."
Chu Qianqian was stunned and secretly thought it was about the 100 acres of land in Tuen Mun.
I thought it would take ten days and a half to get it done, but I didn't expect that the big landowner in the New Territories was quite trustworthy and agreed in just one day.
After meeting Huang Weixin, it turned out that it was about the land.
"Chu Sheng, you only need to sign this document, and the 100 acres of industrial land to the west of Tin Hau Road in Tuen Mun will be yours."
Chu Xiangqian took the contract and scanned it quickly, seeing that there were signatures, seals, and fingerprints at the end of the contract.
After taking a closer look, I saw that the name written on it was Lu Zongnian, and I couldn't help but think of the old lady of the Lu family in "Eavesdropping" who was also a big landowner in the New Territories.
But if you think about it carefully, that Taigong Lu should be far inferior to Lu Zongnian.
This is a gift worth a hundred acres, and counting the time, the old man in the movie should still be a young man in his twenties or thirties.
It is impossible to have a son who is messing around with women outside.
Chu Xiangqian even once suspected that this young man might be the old guy in the movie.
Chu Qianqian looked up and thought about Huang Weixin, "Are you sure there is no problem with the contract? Also, what is the name of Mr. Lu's son?"
Huang Wei's confidence tightened. Although the young man in front of him looked young, he was able to kill a young man and a beautiful girl with the help of Liansheng Longtou with just one phone call.
Even though he is a senior lawyer, to put it bluntly, only public officials are afraid of him.
If it had been a dwarf mule, maybe one life would have been exchanged for another.
He hurriedly assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I personally drew up the contract. I went to the Lu family in the New Territories in person in the morning to see Mr. Lu's signature, drawing and seal. There is absolutely no problem."
As for Mr. Lu’s son, it seems to be Lu Hantao. "
Well, Chu Xiangqian is now certain that Lu Hantao is the Grand Duke Lu who only has one daughter in Overheard 3.
I immediately thought about this kid. Let alone the frame-up and other matters, I was able to buy a lot of farmland and other land from the New Territories just through the Lu family and his son.
Then he silently recalled the terms of the contract, and found nothing disadvantageous to him before reaching out.
Huang Weixin hurriedly took out the pen from his pocket.
Once the contract was signed, Chu Xiangqian handed the contract and pen to Attorney Huang, and took out 1,000 yuan and stuffed it into his suit pocket.
"Help me get the title deed and give it to me, okay?"
Huang Weixin nodded hurriedly, earning one thousand a day, secretly thinking that Chu Xiangqian was really generous.
As for the formalities, it was naturally left to my lawyers.
"Chu Sheng, don't worry. If the district administration dares to make things difficult for you, please keep the complaint and complain to them for mercy."
Chu Xiangqian had no doubts about this at all. After all, Huang was also a senior lawyer.
I came to visit him before, but this guy still received me personally because of the generous fee.
But now, the dominance of both parties has suddenly been reversed.
This is called a scholar meeting a soldier, and it is difficult to explain why.
Also known as 'the big fist is the last word'.
When dealing with people like Huang Weixin, you can't reason with him.
Either throw money at him or make him afraid.
If you have both, the person named Huang will immediately become obedient.
As for how to use this land, Chu Xiangqian wanted to build a toy factory first, but now he had a lot of things on hand.
I'd better wait until I'm not busy for a while.
And even if you want to build a factory, you have to first check the infrastructure and supporting facilities in Tuen Mun. You can't blindly build a factory only to find that there is insufficient power and no roads are repaired.
That's just throwing money in the water.
It would be better to buy a four- or five-story building in Kowloon and build it into an industrial building.
Due to the lack of land on Hong Kong Island, there are many industrial buildings specifically designed to house small workshops and factories.
There is no need to go there without even building basic supporting facilities in Tuen Mun.
After seeing off Huang Weixin, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and called to the assistant director, San Jiangshui and two of his closest men, "Tomorrow you will bring a photographer and camera and drive to the west side of Tin Hau Road in Tuen Mun. Take a picture of a piece of land, and take pictures of the surrounding areas as well.
Let me know when the film is developed. "
Sanjiang Shui knew as soon as he heard that his junior brother didn't want to go and see it on the spot, so he came up with this trick.
Is it really appropriate to spend hundreds of dollars just because you don’t want to make a trip?
Moreover, it is easy for the crew to rent cameras, and film does not need to be purchased separately. It is also easy to find assistant directors and photographers, and they do not need to be paid, otherwise they may cost nearly a thousand yuan.
The assistant director didn't care about this. In his opinion, if he completed this task, he might be favored by the big boss.
Not to mention big movies like "Snake", just making a movie of the same type as "Futon" is an opportunity.
"Boss, don't worry, I promise to take pictures of the land and the surrounding environment and facilities."
Chu nodded forward, took out 400 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Sanjiang Shui, "Senior brother, take the people to have a good meal at noon and evening. For equipment and cars, go to Uncle Hai."
Sanjiang Shui nodded. The 400 yuan was enough to have the guts to order two tables of good wine and good food.
If the big guys go to eat at a food stall and divide the money, five people can get at least fifty or sixty yuan.
The assistant director and Sanjiangshui's two subordinates, Afa and Ali, looked happy and hurriedly thanked them and promised again and again to complete what they had been told.
Chu waved his hand forward and told them to go find Uncle Hai now, but he thought in his heart that money was the most useful thing.
If you didn’t look at Sanjiang Shui, your mouth would be twisted with laughter!
Early the next morning, after having breakfast at Spine, the girl at the front desk ran over with a smile and said, "Boss, I have a call for you. It's Commissioner Charles from the Yau Ma Tei Police Station."
Chu Qianqian raised his head and glanced at the affectionate little girl, secretly thinking that Duan Hongchun didn't know where he found the six new waiters.
Compared to the many female celebrities I had seen on the set of Diamond Head, this look was prettier.
To be honest, there are really not many actresses these days who can be considered beauties.
This is probably related to the current trend. Many families with good family conditions feel that it is extremely shameful for their daughters to show up in public.
Moreover, those girls who want to be celebrities also want to find a rich man to marry after becoming famous.
Therefore, there is no one who can be moved by Chu Qianqian.
The female celebrities I met felt that apart from wearing heavy makeup, they were not even as good as Qin Huairu.
Of course, Chu Xiangqian also knew that he didn't know many female celebrities, so it was normal that he didn't meet any big beauties.
He nodded to the little girl at the front desk, ignoring the other's disappointed expression and thinking to himself, it has been three months since he arrived in Hong Kong Island, why haven't he met a beautiful girl who needs to pay off his parents' gambling debts and is only willing to make a deal?
If you really let yourself be tempted, it wouldn't cost much to have an outhouse.
When I walked to the front desk and picked up the phone, I heard Charles say, "Chu, Sir Norton will arrive at Hong Kong Island Airport tomorrow afternoon. I want to pick him up with you. How about it?"
"No problem." Chu Xiangqian didn't mind letting Charles take advantage. For him, Norton, who was far away in England, was just a foreign aid.
Charles is the guy who knows how to deal with people for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but think of that guy from Blue Steel.
He picked up the phone again and called the anti-aircraft team.
More than half an hour later, after breakfast, Chu Qianqian, who was drinking tea and reading today's Oriental Daily, heard Lan Gang's laughing voice.
Looking back, I saw this guy wearing a crisp suit and walking in quickly with two crooked men.
"Achu, is what you said on the phone true?"
Chu Qianqian nodded to Lan Gang's two men and motioned for them to sit down too. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lan Gang and the other three.
Huo Niu and Hei Zai Lin immediately stood up and took the tea cup handed over by Chu Qianqian with both hands.
Lan Gang sat down and took it carelessly. After the two passed by, Lan Gang first lent 200,000 to Chu Xiangqian.
When Lan Gang fell into despair and was transferred to the anti-aircraft team as a detective, Chu Xiangqian immediately paid back the money and gave him an extra 100,000 yuan, and their friendship was already deep.
Plus, they seem to have compatible personalities, so naturally they are already old friends.
Chu Xiangqian then said, "I can only introduce you to Charles, but this guy is just the director of Yau Ma Tei. It's not that easy for you to be transferred back to Mong Kok to become a detective."
Lan Gang knows better than Chu Xiangqian in this regard.
There is now a new detective in Mong Kok. If we force people to go down, it will not only be the new detective who will be offended.
"It doesn't matter whether I go back to Mong Kok or not. I can apply to the higher authorities to upgrade the anti-flying group to the Kowloon anti-gang group. By then, my yamen will no longer be a cold palace that even ghosts don't want to go to."
Chu Qianqian was stunned and thought to himself that this kid is really smart.
He put down the tea cup and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Huo Niu and Hei Zai Lin looking at him curiously.
He waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Go find the waiter and order some breakfast."
Huo Niu and Hei Zai Lin looked at each other and sighed inwardly, secretly thinking that they were being despised, which also meant that they had not yet caught the eye of Master Chu, let alone being regarded as a confidant.
After the two of them left, Chu Xiangqian asked in a low voice, "Tomorrow I'm going to meet a little ghost noble in England. You go back later and find someone to get some rare seafood. Tomorrow night I'll take Sir Norton and Charles Go to your place to eat.
Also, Norton has always wanted to be my master. From the looks of it, he must be very interested in kung fu. Find someone to find a long sword that looks good and is practical, and pack it in a better package.
At that time, I will praise the sword on the side. As long as Norton puts it away, Charles and the ghost guy behind him should know what to do. "
Lan Gang was overjoyed, thinking quickly, and quickly said with a smile, "I saw a long sword at Lord Ding's place in the walled city, and it definitely meets the requirements you mentioned."
"You are stupid," Chu Qianqian said angrily, "That is a magical weapon for opening the incense hall and controlling the house. If you ask for it, that old guy will definitely kick you out.
Maybe someone can beat you up. "
Lan Gang's expression twisted. He really was right. He scratched his head and said, "Then I'll find someone to ask around first. If I really can't find it, I'll show you some of our unique things first. How about that?"
Chu nodded forward, "It really doesn't have to be a long sword."
After thinking about it, his eyes lit up and he said, "You can also get a nice-looking iron bone fan."
Lan Gang's face lit up, this would be easy to handle. As long as you spend enough money, you can make an iron fracture fan in one day, and it's not difficult even if you want to carve it.
"Okay, I'm just going to find someone to take care of it."
After watching Lan Gang leave in a hurry, Chu Xiangqian called Baifanyu and made an appointment to see the fishing boat in the afternoon. After he learned how to sail the boat, he would drive the boat out of the port in the evening.
Now that he had the guts, Chu Xiangqian went to the newspaper office again. He Yisheng had also asked people to clean up the best room and use it as Chu Xiangqian's office.
A set of office supplies were also arranged overnight.
Chu Qianqian walked into the office, which was at least 40 square meters, and stood by the window, looking at Victoria Bay, Wan Chai and Central opposite, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
As for desks, sofas, etc., as long as they are not ugly, I have no requirements for them.
I was reviewing the newspaper's accounts for the year until noon, when a knock on the door came.
After shouting "Come in", he looked up and saw He Yisheng's secretary pushing the door open and saying, "Boss, the two Mr. Ma are here.
The editor-in-chief also asked me to tell you that he has collected the sales volume of the morning newspaper and will report to you later after the compilation is completed. "
Chu nodded forward, "Please come in, Mr. Xiaoma, and give me two cups of coffee."
The secretary nodded hurriedly and was about to leave when he heard Chu Xiangqian say, "By the way, I remember Editor He gave me a bottle of Blue Mountain coffee, that's what I use."
After saying that, he opened the office drawer as a cover, took out a box of deer glue from the warehouse, handed it to his secretary and said, "This is the tribute deer glue from the mainland, give it to Editor He for me.
It was a thank you to him for giving me the coffee from 'Warrenford Farm' in Jamaica. "
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then secretly became happy. The boss recognized the goods and gave a return gift that sounded equally rare. It seems that the relationship between the two top managers of the newspaper will continue to be harmonious in the future.
This is definitely a good thing for the employees below, not to mention that the newspaper is now rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Internal stability is even more important.
"Okay, boss, I will convey it to Editor He without missing a word."
Chu Qianqian smiled and waved his hand, "Do it well, the newspaper needs talents."
The secretary was ecstatic now. When he went out and saw Da Ma, Da Ma could tell that this woman was in a great mood.
If the office door had not been open just now and the conversation between the two could be heard, the brothers might have misunderstood Chu Xiangqian and ate the young woman.
The pony pulled the big brother, "Boss, have you ever heard of the coffee from 'Wallenford Farm'?"
Da Ma rolled his eyes and cursed in his mind why Gui Lao and some Hong Kong Islanders liked such a bitter thing so much?
Shaking his head, he followed the secretary into Chu Qianqian's office.
Chu Xiangqian had already stood up and walked to the middle of the office, reaching out to shake hands with the two brothers.
After sitting on the sofa and saying some polite words, the secretary walked in with three cups of coffee.
"Try it. Although the Blue Mountain coffee of 'Warrenford Farm' is not famous now, this farm will definitely become a top coffee estate in the future."
Blue Mountain Coffee is really famous, in fact, it depends on the islanders.
The reason why people in the island country are pursuing Blue Mountain coffee is very simple at the beginning. Jamaica wants to get loans to expand its coffee industry, but it has been unable to get loans from foreign banks.
This matter dragged on for six or seven years, until the islanders approved a loan of US$20 million in 1969 to expand the coffee planting area.
So for a long time, 90% of Blue Mountain coffee was exported to island countries.
Then with the economic rise of the island country, it was slowly accepted by the world.
Of course, its popularity all over the world depends on its own quality and unique flavor.
Da Ma picked up the cup and took a sip. He didn't know if it was because Chu Xiangqian held such a heavy weight in the hearts of the two brothers. Da Ma, who had never liked coffee, felt really good while drinking it.
At least it's more fragrant and smoother than what I've had in Western restaurants outside. It's not that bitter or sour in the mouth.
He thought secretly, no wonder he was so highly praised by Chu Xiangqian, and then scolded He Yisheng in his heart.
As my former boss, I never received even a small gift, let alone Blue Mountain Coffee.
Xiao Ma didn't think it tasted very good. Instead, he was thinking about the tribute deer glue that Chu Xiangqian told his secretary before.
"Chu Sheng, I was outside the office and overheard you talking about tribute? Can you divide the brothers?"
Da Ma was very anxious, fearing that Chu Qianqian would think that his brothers were eavesdropping on purpose.
But what Chu Xiangqian did just now was because he was interested in selling deer gum to them after the two brothers got rich.
Smiling and waving to Dama, he stood up and walked to the office, taking out 2 boxes, or 2 pounds of deer glue, from the drawer.
After handing it to the two brothers, he sat down and said with a smile, "This kind of deer glue is more effective than donkey hide gelatin, and it won't cause irritation. It's the best thing to give to women."
It's just that this stuff is a great supplement. You can't take it when you're pregnant or bleeding. You can just take one piece a week. "
The little pony nodded quickly. Although the brothers lost their parents, they still had a lot of women.
It's a pity that no woman has become pregnant in the past few years because she was hungry for a long time and had some hidden health problems.
So I was immediately interested in what Chu Xiangqian said about "big supplement".
He pulled Chu Xiangqian and asked carefully. When he heard Chu Xiangqian say that deer glue made from sika deer was more popular in the palace than donkey hide gelatin in ancient times, he immediately felt that it would be better to order more of this good thing.
Lest Chu Xiangqian give it to this person today and that person tomorrow, and then finish it off in a few days.
"Chu Sheng, how much does a box of deer glue cost? I plan to prepare more for my godfather and my wife to eat later."
"I sold it to Mr. Bai for 500 per box, and I gave him 20 boxes, so I'll give you 20 boxes too."
After saying that, Chu Xiangqian immediately decided to increase the price. If someone comes to buy from him in the future, it will cost 1,000 yuan per box.
Looking at the big horse, he said, "But don't tell anyone. This thing is a tribute and cannot be sold on the market. There is no specific price in the mainland.
But the tribute donkey hide gelatin costs 240 per pound, and the second-rate deer gelatin from the mainland also costs 400 to 500.
Once this kind of product with better effects is put on the market, it will be the same as the best isinglass and the second-class isinglass. The price can differ several times, or even more than ten times. "
Hong Kong Island is close to the sea, so Xiao Ma naturally has the best isinglass he has ever eaten, and he knows that what Chu Xiangqian said is right.
"Then I can't take advantage of you, otherwise we brothers will be too embarrassed to ask for it from you in the future."
Xiao Ma nodded hurriedly. A person like him who is willing to pay hundreds of thousands to pick up girls doesn't care whether the deer gum is five hundred or one thousand.
