Chapter 349 World Cup Appearance(1/2)
Hong Kong's gorgeous night.
The Huang family's mansion was brightly lit. There were pairs of well-dressed men and women in the garden, and soft and beautiful music came from the hall...
In the study on the second floor, Li Yuan and Huang Jiaojiao, who was holding Ling Ling, were meeting an old man and a middle-aged man and woman. They were Huang Jin, the semi-retired old man of the Huang family. Huang Jiaojiao's parents, Huang Zhihua and
Zeng Cailing.
"Okay." Mr. Huang looked very happy.
Huang Jiaojiao immediately acted coquettishly: "Grandpa, where is the red envelope? Can't you be stingy?"
"Go! Ask your mother for it." Mr. Huang scolded with a smile, "How old are you, and you still think you are a child? Yuanzi, sit down and talk to my old man. I have wanted to talk to you for a long time."
Li Yuan smiled and understood tacitly. There are some things that there is no need to tell. However, in the chat just now, Zeng Cailing also revealed a few words intentionally or unintentionally, which was nothing more than a hint that she knew about Li Yuan's family situation in the mainland. It should be the Huang family
Someone has been sent to find out.
"Yuanzi, we are not such a snobbish family. As long as you and Jiaojiao live a good life in Hong Kong. Can you do this?"
"No problem, grandpa. I will definitely arrange it." Li Yuan replied with a smile.
"That's good."
What the Huang family wants is the position of a big wife in Hong Kong. No matter whether they compromise or deceive themselves, they don't care about Li Yuan's affairs elsewhere.
Of course, Li Yuan had no reason not to agree. He couldn't just get an advantage and act like a good boy. His daughter even had a son.
So Huang Zhihua smiled and asked: "Yuanzi, what are your thoughts in the future? Oh, I forgot to congratulate you, you won the award in Cannes this time."
Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and briefly introduced the situation of the Cannes Film Festival: "Dad, this is a fluke. The movie is mainly my and Jiaojiao's personal hobby. If I have free time in the future, I may make one or two more. But.
The main focus will be on business, including business in the Yuan Universe.”
"That's good. That's good."
Li Yuan understood what the Huang family meant. With the influx of hot money, Hong Kong movies are currently in a state of turmoil. Whether they are underworld or white, people everywhere come to the Hong Kong film industry to make money.
There is a bit of a mixed bag here, especially since many underworld bosses have entered the scene, which ultimately made the Hong Kong entertainment industry a mess.
Many people should know about this period of history, and it has been described in many Hong Kong entertainment articles. In the end, it even triggered protests and demonstrations in the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle, causing a sensation all over the world...
Of course, the Huang family didn't want to get involved in such trouble. That's why they reminded Li Yuan. It doesn't matter if you play a few movies, but there are some aspects where you need to pay attention to avoid suspicion.
Zeng Cailing explained with a smile: "Yuanzi, don't be so nervous, we are not unenlightened parents. The award-winning film like this one is quite good. And the newspaper said that many European film masters have praised it.
you?"
Huang Jiaojiao immediately became arrogant: "That goes without saying. I am the initiator of this movie. I ordered Xiao Yuanzi to create it. Why don't you praise me?"
Amidst the chuckles, Mr. Huang once again scolded with a loving smile: "What are your abilities that we don't know about? Are you still making movies?"
"Grandpa, don't look down on others."
"hehe."
"Dad, can you sell the shares of my small real estate to you? I'll give you a fair price. Don't bully your grandson."
"For what?"
"Then I have the principal. We will also go to Thailand to develop new properties. Then we will sell them to you. Hehehehe."
In fact, the Huang family is not at a disadvantage with this approach. After all, it is now a period of rising real estate prices. This also includes the real estate market in Southeast Asia. Before the 1998 financial crisis, Southeast Asia was also a place where international enthusiasm poured in.
But Huang Jiaojiao will also be a lot less worried. After all, she no longer needs to do it herself. The eldest lady is so afraid of trouble, and she is the kind of person who lives a delicate life. Originally, there was a dog slave named Xiao Yuanzi, but she didn't expect that now she is a dog slave.
Going to engage in high technology?
"Haha. I'll let the company's actuary take a look! Let your eldest brother decide then." Huang Zhihua didn't say anything. If it was similar, he wasn't going to argue with his daughter.
Zeng Cailing took Lingling, shook it and coaxed her: "Yuanzi, what business are you going to do now? Is it selling water and a movie company?"
"These traditional industries will be handed over to Jiaojiao. Personally, I am still prepared to develop in the high-tech field."
"Then why not do real estate? The high-tech industry is very profitable?"
"At this stage, we are still burning money."
"Burning money?"
Li Yuan explained the concept of "burning money" with a smile: "Mom, although today's high-tech is burning money, what I strive for is the right to speak. Once I have the right to speak, it will be very easy to make money in the future."
Zeng Cailing still doesn’t quite understand this concept. In the minds of Hong Kong people, isn’t real estate the most profitable thing? How else can it be more profitable?
As for high technology? Making money means making money, no matter where the money comes from?
In fact, Mr. Huang and Huang Zhihua didn't understand it very well. So the old man asked hesitantly: "Yuanzi, are you short of funds? Can I lend you some money?"
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head. If it was venture capital, he would have agreed. But now it is obviously a family relationship, so there is no need to waste this favor.
"Old man, the methods of high-tech and traditional industries are different. In fact, at the beginning, it was also a question of financial operations. Of course, you need core technology and market prospects."
"Oh, tell me about it." Mr. Huang suddenly became interested. Real estate is also a financial operation, so he seemed very curious.
"Old man, dad, mom, it's like this. Financing like this is usually..."
I have to say that the financing and operation process of those unicorn companies in the future will indeed become more and more exciting. It can be said that only you can't think of it, but they can't do it.
Such a coquettish operation left Mr. Huang and the others dumbfounded. It was a great experience.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mr. Huang asked with a smile: "Yuanzi, if you do this, no one will object?"
Huang Jiaojiao on the side glanced sideways: "That's what he did in Yeshan Qingquan at that time. Do you know how much we took out at the beginning? Just 1 million! This man only has tens of thousands of dollars around him."
There was laughter all around. Mr. Huang was quite funny: "Jiaojiao, then you were deceived?"
"No! This damn man is stalking me! Hmph!" Huang Jiaojiao threatened Li Yuan with that "terrifying" look - damn man, how dare you object?
Amid laughter, Huang Zhihua changed the subject: "Yuanzi, if you think about it, just do it. We parents will always support you. We just need to control the risks. After all, you are already parents."
"Dad, Mom, I understand."
"..."
…
It should be admitted that Li Yuan has expanded too much and has even exceeded his financial limit.
Every industry is being laid out, and land is being enclosed everywhere, but the money coming back is very little, and it has even affected the level of turnover.
If it weren't for Han Palace Bank, which used high leverage to operate and cover up, the capital chain might have really been broken.
And under such circumstances, you cannot even sell the stocks you hold casually. Otherwise, if it falls into the eyes of interested people, it will immediately cause great passiveness. So you can only bite the bullet and hold on.
To be honest, the biggest gain at the Cannes Film Festival this time was not the awards, but the US$6.8 million from selling the copyright! With this fund, Li Yuan's life was indeed extended for a few seconds...
But having said that, the bumper harvest of Chinese-language films at the Cannes Film Festival still caused quite a stir in the country.
The most famous scene is when teacher Ge Cunzhuang holds flowers to welcome Uncle Ge, the new best actor in Cannes.
Of course, as the only representative of "Two Golden Guns", Ying Xin, a silly girl, also showed a small face under the spotlight...
However, this sensation lasted only a short time because another major event happened - the 94th World Cup in the United States officially started!
…
"...Dear audience friends, this is the live broadcast of the 1994 World Cup, and the opening ceremony is going on now..."
Due to the time difference, the broadcast time of the World Cup in the United States is relatively friendly, usually in the evening and morning.
As a fan, Li Wei has been looking forward to this trouble-free event for a long time. Today he and a few friends gathered at his home, drinking and chatting until late at night, and then brought two bottles of beer, waiting for the game to be broadcast.
"Daughter-in-law, fry some peanuts and cut a plate of dried beans!" Zhang Wei shouted, looking as arrogant as a gentleman.
The daughter-in-law finished her work quickly and brought two plates of food into the house. Then she glared at Li Wei fiercely. As a veteran widow of the World Cup, the daughter-in-law had long been unable to bear it, so she only left a little face. She was waiting for those friends.
Leave and see how I deal with you!
Facing the waves of murderous intent, Li Wei remained calm and composed. Isn't he just kneeling on the washboard? It's not like labor and management have never knelt before?
Finally, when his wife left, Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A friend nearby praised her: "Weizi, you are like this! Your wife is so virtuous. She is not as good as mine. It will be difficult to get in tonight."
Li Wei laughed, patted his chest and promised: "You don't know this, I just need to take care of you! Now at home, I just say the same thing! Brothers, isn't it just to watch the World Cup? From now on, you will come to my house, and I will ensure that the brothers eat well and drink well.
.Hahaha!"
"..."
As a matter of fact, in this era, there were almost no bars for watching football in China, let alone Internet cafes. However, watching football was still the most popular among a group of people, so at this time, there were such men seeking death everywhere across the country.
Finally, when the closing ceremony was over, the first game was broadcast between the host countries, the United States and Switzerland.
As the referee's whistle blew, the players from both teams immediately got into the game.
"...Fuck! Good shot, pass, pass. Foul!..."
Then the whole room was full of people shouting and drinking, and Li Wei and the others devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the competition.
"...That defensive action just now, the referee awarded a touchline kick!"
As the football rolled out of bounds, the broadcast camera came to a close-up, which happened to stay on the billboard beside the stadium for a few seconds.
"Huh? Are there still square characters on the World Cup?"
To be continued...
