Lei Weidong: "Uncle, do you think we can turn Haojiang TV Station into a satellite TV station?"
"Turn Haojiang TV station into a satellite TV!" Le Tycoon was silent for a while and said: "It is a bit difficult with the strength of the two of us, but it is definitely possible to bring Mr. He in.
Compared with Xiangjiang, the Portuguese power in Haojiang is too weak. They all need to look at Mr. He's face to act. But Xiaolei, why do you want to change Haojiang TV station to satellite TV? "
"Haojiang is too close to Xiangjiang, and more than 90% of the citizens watch either wireless or ATV. For us, it is like leaving the right hand against the right hand. The gain outweighs the loss, so we might as well go out.
Satellite signals are used to push programs to all parts of Asia, and the language is Mandarin. There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people in Nanyang, including Wanwan, who speak Mandarin.
This market is much bigger than Xiangjiang.
Of course, the more important thing is to rely on ATV and use ATV's content resources to promote satellite TV to various parts of Southeast Asia and attract local people. "
"The idea is good, but we don't have much connection with Nanyang, so how can we push the program there?" Le Tycoon asked.
"The method is very simple. One is to cooperate with antenna manufacturers from various Southeast Asian countries to allow ordinary households to install satellite antennas, the kind that have large pot lids and are placed on the roof.
Another option is to cooperate with local cable TV operators and let them convert the satellite signals of Haojiang TV Station into cable signals for free or even at a discount.
It doesn't matter if you lose a little money at the beginning. As long as you open up the market, let the local people recognize Haojiang TV Station, and build its reputation, the money will keep rolling in.
"You're right, I'm moved. I'll go to Haojiang tomorrow to discuss this matter with Mr. He. Xiaolei, hurry up and get the shares of ATV. Then we can join forces and do something big."
As the conversation progressed, Le Tycoon burst out laughing. He was very satisfied with Lei Weidong's son-in-law. During dinner in the evening, he even asked his wife and daughter to keep picking up food for him.
If he hadn't known that the occasion was inappropriate and Lei Weidong had so many women, he would have almost asked Lei Weidong when he married Le Huizhen and Yazi.
------
On December 28, a few days before New Year's Day, the weather was clear and cloudless, making it a good day for moving.
For every Chinese, moving is a big day, even if Lei Weidong keeps a low profile.
With only the women's army composed of Salina, Bai Kailen, Jian Huizhen, Chen Yalun, Yun Piaopiao and other girls, they drove dozens of cars to form a long convoy and headed for the mansion in Deep Water Bay - Mei garden.
A very simple but somewhat poetic name. The reason for this name is because of the roses that can be seen everywhere in the manor.
The reason why there are so many roses comes from a promise.
Although Hong Kong is Chinese territory, due to its geographical location, commercial freedom and colonial factors, while traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival have become less popular, Western festivals such as Christmas and Valentine's Day have become popular.
Especially the plot people are loved by young men and women, and roses and chocolates become the standard accessories on that day.
Lei Weidong is not exempt from the vulgarity. He receives a lot of chocolates every Valentine's Day, as well as roses.
Although Lei Weidong orders a lot from flower shops, there is nothing new and does not show his billionaire wealth.
So he casually said that if the villa was full of roses, Salena, Jian Huizhen and others would have 10,000 roses each, and the villa would be turned into a rose garden, and the name would be Rose Garden.
Regarding Lei Weidong's move, media people have long paid attention to it, whether it is Mingpao or Oriental Daily, whether it is TVB or ATV.
They came to the entrance of the mansion before dawn, thinking of going in and taking a look to see how luxurious this first mansion in Xiangjiang, which is known as a palace and costs a lot of money, is. Even if they can't get in, It’s okay to take some photos outside.
pity!
They were all stopped outside the guard box and could only take a picture of their names at the entrance.
This is a boulder, as tall as a person, placed at the private intersection leading to the manor. It is engraved with the characters "rose garden" to tell visitors that they are entering private territory before proceeding, and the guards have the right to expel them.
"This will be our home from now on."
Entering the private road from a private intersection crowded with media people, we soon arrived at the gate of the manor. Not only were there guard booths outside the gate, but no one could enter without the owner's instructions.
There is also a guardhouse inside, a small western-style building covering an area of more than fifty square meters.
The first floor is the guard room, which not only keeps two guards on duty at all times, but also has a lounge where the patrol team can rest.
Because the Rose Garden is so big, the security guard right next to the door cannot guarantee safety. There must be patrol teams patrolling along the path outside the wall. Each group has two people, divided into three groups, every eight hours, and patrols continuously. .
The guardhouse is where they rest.
As for the second floor, it is the monitoring room. Through more than 20 infrared monitoring systems, it is responsible for monitoring the periphery of the manor. It can be said that security is achieved without leaving any blind spots, and its level is no worse than the Governor's Mansion.
"Brother Dong, how many bodyguards are there here?"
Looking at the guards patrolling along the corner, Yun Piaopiao asked.
"Security work is handled by Li Jie's security company. There are a total of 180 people, divided into three shifts of 60 people each, to perform security work. Their task is not only to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.
The more important thing is to imitate reporters and paparazzi and take secret photos. You don’t want your life to be peeped by outsiders. "
Lei Weidong pointed to the building on the top of the mountain twice and said: "There is a guard box at the entrance, and outsiders can't get in at all. The only option is to climb the mountain twice and set up high-power remote cameras on it.
To this end, we not only installed a barbed wire fence on the mountain, but also built two small villas as a resting place for our mountain climbing entertainment.
When not in use at ordinary times, it is used as a patrol camp. There are two people on it at all times. When changing shifts, they check whether the barbed wire fence has been damaged or climbed over.
"Hello, sir, madam."
While talking, the convoy arrived in front of the main building, which was a small square paved with marble slabs, with a Norwegian mermaid-style fountain in the middle.
The manor's housekeeper and his servants were standing in front of the fountain. When they saw Lei Weidong and his entourage approaching, they immediately came to greet them.
"This is Ms. Jenny, a French-Chinese." Salena and others have been here before and are familiar with the housekeeper. Lei Weidong introduced Chen Yalun, who was here for the first time.
"Hello, Miss Jenny." Jenny is in her forties, but looks very young on the outside, in her thirties. She is steady and elegant, much like a palace lady in a TV series.
She greeted Chen Yalun generously, and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Lunch is being prepared and will be ready soon. I will show you the room first. Now take a rest in the room and go to the restaurant for dinner at 12 o'clock. Of course, if you don't want to come down, lunch can be delivered to your room."
When you walk into the main building, the first thing you notice is the living room.
It is said that some living rooms are not suitable because the area is too large and it is not a problem to accommodate more than 100 or even 200 people. This is because Hong Kong wealthy families generally like to hold banquets in their own mansions.
Therefore, the halls are built very large. They are not only functional but also beautiful. In addition to elevators, there are also stairs to allow guests to easily go up to the second floor.
"Brother Dong, are those on the ceiling gold-plated?" Chen Yalun asked, pointing to the magnificent walls and ceiling.
"It's not just gold plating, some things are 24K pure gold." Jian Huizhen and Chen Yalun have a good relationship. They are good sisters in Bawanghua. Jian Huizhen said with a smile, leaning on Chen Yalun's shoulder.
“I am responsible for all the decorative materials here. Not only do I use precious hand-carved limestone, French chandeliers, agate stones, but I also use a lot of 24K pure gold jewelry.
Especially this main building, because it is our home, in order to make it beautiful, only 999 gold was used and a ton was used.
"A ton of gold is a luxury."
Chen Yalun stuck out his tongue and followed the troops to the second floor.
The lobby, kitchen, dining room, guard room, guest room, fitness room, and public toilet are on the first floor. The living room, study room, cafe, movie hall, entertainment hall, public bathroom, swimming pool, etc. are on the second or third floor.
As for the bedrooms of Lei Weidong and others, they are on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors.
It is said to be a bedroom, but it is actually a luxurious five-star suite. It not only contains a huge bedroom, but also a bathroom, restaurant, conference room, etc. It is similar to the presidential suite in a five-star hotel.
In particular, Lei Weidong's room not only covers an area of 666 square meters, but is also arranged on upper and lower floors. The toilet inside is larger than an ordinary house.
As for the seventh floor, it is a place for private entertainment.
The stairs and elevators outside here are not directly accessible. You need to go up through the stairs in the room.
There is a heated swimming pool, a small screening room, a concert hall and other entertainment venues. The terrace above the seventh floor is the essence of the main building and even the manor - the sky garden.
"Awesome, moving the garden to the roof, not to mention how much it costs, the maintenance costs a lot every year." When he came to the rooftop, looking at the beautiful and gloomy spring garden in front of him, Chen Yalun breathed quickly. stopped.
"Brother Dong is a billionaire, so this little expense doesn't matter." Jian Huizhen chuckled, "You know, the exotic flowers and plants here are not chosen casually.
In addition to being beautiful, it should also be free of odor and less likely to breed insects. We don’t want to be bitten by mosquitoes in the summer. "
"Being beautiful, not smelly, and less likely to breed insects, are these what you want?" He pulled Jian Huizhen along the path in the garden, and finally came to the marble pavilion in the middle.
Chen Yalun asked as he looked at the small waterfall, large shallow pool and rockery not far away.
"I'm not alone. We all discussed this together. You came late. If you had come earlier, you would have contributed to this."
Jian Huizhen chuckled and said, "The main ideas were Yun Piaopiao, Le Huizhen and Ya Zi. Of course, I also contributed a little and made several suggestions. For example, I proposed the small bar."
Jian Huizhen is referring to the middle of the garden, where there is a miniature bar, a small stage and an outdoor hot spring swimming pool. It is really pleasant to soak in hot springs, drink and dance in the green garden.
"What are those?" Chen Yalun climbed up and looked into the distance, looking at the beautiful scenery of the manor. The dozens of villas in the southwest attracted Chen Yalun's attention.
"That is the villa area, prepared for each of us." Jian Huizhen took a look and explained, "Although we have our own bedroom in the main building, we are not as comfortable as having a separate room.
So Brother Dong specially set up a villa area in the manor. The area is not large, only 400 to 500 square meters. You can choose one after a while. If you get tired of the main building, you can live in the villa for a few days to change your mood.
If you don't want to go, you can let the bodyguards stay in the villa, saving them and the manor guards from crowding in the guard room. "
"time to eat!"
Bai Kailun came over, looked at the two women and said, "Stop chatting. If you want to chat, we can chat in the evening. Let's go eat first and clean up the room after dinner. The guests will arrive in the afternoon."
"Um!"
Chen Yalun nodded, and went to the restaurant on the first floor with Jian Huizhen, and ate breakfast with Lei Weidong around the long dining table. Because there were too many people, everyone who could come came, so everyone was not used to ordering. He didn't speak much at all.
Only Lei Weidong was in charge and assigned tasks to everyone.
After the meal, some ceremonies were held according to Xiangjiang customs, and the invited guests arrived one after another.
Wong Ping-yiu from the West Kowloon General Administration, Lam Mong, Biao Shu, and Chan Ka-kui and Da Zui from the Central District.
Instructor Hu, Li Ying, Li Zhongguang, Zhu Huabiao, Zhou Xingxing and others from Yau Tsim District.
Some of them were alone. For example, Lin Meng and Huang Bingyao came alone.
Some people came with them, such as Uncle Biao who brought his cousin and her three daughters, and Li Zhongguang who brought his son.
The rest is to bring friends, Chen Jiaju brings his fiancée A Mei, Li Ying brings Jenny, Zhou Xingxing takes Cindy, a total of more than 40 people.
Everyone brought congratulatory gifts, which of course were not very expensive. In fact, Lei Weidong's net worth was much higher than everyone else's, let alone the manor at his feet.
Not to mention the whole villa, even a single villa will make everyone envious. So the congratulatory gifts only need to be distinctive.
"A Dong, come and take a look. This is the treasure I gave you. Although it is not very expensive, it cost only one thousand yuan, but it is a masterpiece by a famous artist. You will definitely like it."
Chen Jiaju took out an exquisite bamboo tube, took out the items wrapped in leather paper, opened the paper, and revealed the scroll inside.
"Calligraphy and painting, Jiaju, when did you start playing with these things? It doesn't look like your temper." Li Ying and others were very surprised to see that Chen Jiaju's gift was calligraphy and painting.
If it is not unusual for Huang Bingyao, Uncle Biao and others to send calligraphy and paintings, then it is a bit strange for Chen Jiaju to send this...
"A Dong is so rich that he doesn't like giving gold and jewelry at all. He might as well give something elegant. I bought this from a mainlander. It's not valuable now, but it might be worth a few decades."
Saying this, Chen Jiaju unfolded the scroll and revealed the contents.
"This is!"
Seeing that there were only a few lotus flowers in the painting, rough people like Li Ying and Zhou Xingxing were a little surprised. They didn't understand why Chen Jiaju regarded them as treasures. But it was different for educated people like Lei Weidong and Salina.
"Looking at the painter and the materials used, it seems to be Zhang Daqian's handiwork. It's just the seal." Salena stepped forward to appreciate it carefully.
The content of the painting is very simple: two large pink lotus flowers, a dead lotus branch, a bare stem, a pool of mud, and a few small shrimps and aquatic plants.
For people who don't know how to draw, this is no different from what the art teacher draws in art class.
But for masters, they can see the difference between the two. The simpler the painting, the more difficult it is to draw, especially ink painting. A few strokes can show the skills of more than ten years or even decades.
This is like the painting in front of me!
Although there are not many things in the painting, there are only lotus flowers, lotus leaves, soil, fish and shrimp, etc., but when put together, the whole painting seems to be floating in front of you, very realistic...
"seal......"
Following Salena's fingers, everyone looked and saw some small words in the lower right corner of the painting. The content was "Congratulations to my sister on her fiftieth birthday in the year of Ji Chou. I wish my sister's pines and cypresses to be evergreen and her long life. Brotherly love, with a Qiuchi written on it." of seal.
"Mr. Zhang Daqian spent countless paintings, most of which were sold for money, and a small amount was given to friends." Seeing that everyone did not understand, Salina explained.
"It goes without saying that paintings that are sold for money cannot be the ones that Zhang Daqian put his heart into, but it is different with the paintings that are given to friends. Almost all of them are works of great effort and are considered fine works.
The reason for distinguishing the two is very simple. You don't need to look at the size of the painting, just look at the signature. Anyone with the name "Daqian", "Zhang Yuan", "Daqian Jushi", etc., means that it is Used to sell for money.
But if the inscription on it contains honorifics such as "Brother Zhang Yuan" or "Brother Yuan", it means that the painting was given to a friend by Zhang Daqian and is considered a fine product. "
"The inscription on this painting is Brotherly Love. Does that mean this painting is for my sister? But does Zhang Daqian have a sister? I really don't think I've heard of it."
Uncle Biao is also a person who loves painting. He likes Zhang Daqian's works very much, so he came up and asked.
"Maybe it's a cousin or a foster sister. Zhang Daqian has been romantic all his life and has countless confidantes. It's normal to have one or two foster sisters. It's just that Qiuchi's seal makes me a little confused.
Zhang Daqian really wished he didn't have this seal. "Salena pointed to the seal at the end of the inscription and said, "But judging from the painting method and style, this painting is indeed Zhang Daqian's original work. Brother Dong, do you think this painting is authentic or fake? "
Undecided, Salina asked Lei Weidong.
"This should be Zhang Daqian's authentic work. As for Qiu Chi's seal." Lei Weidong pointed at the signature of the calligraphy and painting with his finger and said with a smile, "Who among you knows Zhang Daqian's life? Please tell everyone."
"I...I know."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jin Qing raised his right hand and said.
"you know?"
"Yes!" Jin nodded lightly, "When I was with my father, in addition to learning gambling skills, I also studied classical culture to cultivate my sentiments. I got to know Zhang Daqian specifically.
Not only his paintings, but also his life. I have heard of the Qiu Chi seal, which seems to be related to Li Qiujun. "
"Since you know, let's talk about it." Lei Weidong motioned to Jin Qing to continue.
"Zhang Daqian was originally named Zhengquan, but later changed his name to Yuan, with the courtesy name Ji Yuan, nickname Daqian, and alias Daqian Jushi. He was born in Neijiang, Sichuan in 1899. He has ten brothers and one sister, making him the eighth eldest.
One thing to note is that Zhang Daqian's family background is very superior and he is a local wealthy family.
People often say that the Republic of China produced great people, including not only the painter Zhang Daqian and the poet Xu Zhimo, but also writers and thinkers. I thought that since I was born in the Republic of China, I could meet these predecessors.
But they have forgotten that in the Republic of China, everyone was from a superior family, and had no worries about food, drink, or women. Even Lu Xun, whose family was in decline, was carefree and speechless when he was a child. Not only did he attend the Jiangnan Naval Academy, he was also able to take the imperial examination. , and even passed the county examination.
If he could not afford to go to school like his childhood friend Runtu, there would be no future writer Lu Xun. "
"Ah Qing, everyone knows what you are talking about, let's talk about Zhang Daqian, you see everyone is anxious." Lei Weidong motioned to Jin Qing not to change the subject.
"I digressed." Jin Qing smiled apologetically and continued, "Zhang Daqian went to Ribun to study when he was 17 years old. When he was 20 years old, he returned to the magic capital from Ribun and became a disciple of the famous Shanghai calligraphers Zeng Xi and Li Ruiqing.
Mr. Zeng Xi gave Zhang Daqian the stage name Yuan, with the courtesy name Ji Yuan, and supported him in holding his first solo exhibition. All 100 works were sold out, making him an instant success and famous.
However, in that year, his fiancée's cousin passed away. He became a monk at Songjiang Zending Temple and took the Buddhist name Daqian, hence the title Zhang Daqian. Three months later, he returned to secular life and returned to his hometown.
Under the auspices of his mother, Zhuanzhong hosted Zhang Daqian and Zeng Zhengrong in their marriage. The next year, he took a concubine. Then he returned to Shanghai and started selling paintings for a living. Because he was young and not famous, he could not sell for a high price.
Zhang Daqian began to imitate the paintings of Shi Tao, a great painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Because of his superb skills, he confused the real ones with the fake ones, and even the senior painter Huang Binhong couldn't recognize them.
It was at this time that he met his lifelong friend and confidante Li Qiujun, and the reason for their acquaintance was a bit ridiculous.
Li Maochang, a well-known local wealthy businessman in Shanghai, liked Shi Tao's paintings very much. He spent 50 yuan to buy an authentic work of Shi Tao from Zhang Daqian, and then took it home to show to his daughter Li Qiujun.
Li Qiujun smiled at the painting his father bought for personal leave, but the painter's level was extremely high, no less than or even better than Shi Tao.
Daughter Li Qiujun is a talented woman. She has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She is especially talented in painting, otherwise she would not be able to tell at a glance that the paintings are fake.
Li Maochang recognized his daughter's talent very much, so he began to look for the person who painted the fake paintings. He originally thought he was a senior painter, but after finding the real person, he discovered that the person was a young man in his twenties.
This made Li Maochang very surprised and very happy about Zhang Daqian's talent, because he felt that Zhang Daqian was a perfect match for his daughter, so he invited him to visit his home.
So the two golden girls in the painting world had the opportunity to meet, and a poignant story began. "
"Poignant story, are they?" Salena asked.
"Destined but not separated." Jin nodded lightly and said, "Although Zhang Daqian and Li Qiujun were engaged under Li's father's intentional "matchmaking", apart from sleeping in separate rooms, they were almost inseparable and were no different from real couples.
But I don’t know why, Zhang Daqian, who has had countless romantic lovers in his life, treated Li Qiujun with respect and did not dare to cross the threshold.
Even when Li Qiujun wanted to be his concubine, he rejected her! "
