Chapter 391: The Day of Death
Miliangku Hutong, Gujia.
The contact was made through Li Suzhi last night, and I came to pay a courtesy visit today.
Zhang Qing came with Zhou Yanyan, and the old lady liked her.
Sure enough, after being led in and Zhang Qing said hello, the old lady only left Zhou Yanyan to talk.
Among the older generation, there are not many who are so indifferent to Zhang Qing.
When Gu Weihong took Zhang Qing to the east wing of the courtyard and sat down to talk, he even joked: "Are you not used to it? Do you really think that you are a treasure and everyone loves you?"
Zhang Qing felt ashamed. Gu Weihong glanced at him and pointedly explained the reason: "The old lady is not very close to people who are flirtatious."
Zhang Qing's words were stagnant and he didn't even have the confidence to explain.
Gu Weihong smiled again and said: "Okay, you can just handle your own affairs. What do you say on Hong Kong Island?"
Zhang Qingdao: "Yao Lixin's family has relented and is willing to sell ATV and crocodile shirts. The asking price is 2 billion, plus 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in borrowing money. Uncle Qiao Liu said that Yao Lixin has a lot of affection for the mainland and has donated money to the mainland over the years.
He made a lot of money. Moreover, he is also a good entrepreneur. It is a pity that Lixin Group collapsed like this. It is not a bad thing if he can help."
Gu Weihong nodded and said: "I've heard of Yao Lixin too, and he says he's good. Zhang Qing, after ATV gets it, what are you going to do? Are you going to be like Ming Pao and ignore it?"
Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "ATV is different from Ming Pao. ATV is a window that introduces the mainland to Hong Kong Island and the Chinese people around the world. The reason why ATV's ratings are not high is because the Broadcasting Administration of Hong Kong Island requires ATV to
Scientific and educational content must be broadcast for a certain period of time, and English content for a certain period of time. Fortunately, there are too many things to show on the 9.6 million square kilometers of land."
Gu Weihong said with a smile: "That's more like it! Let me remind you that some old comrades are very unhappy about the "Ming Pao" incident this time. You don't need to explain, of course I know that you are right, but when the old man was here, there were some
No one agrees with reform and opening up, let alone you? Therefore, it is best not to deliberately pursue neutrality and impartiality in ATV's position. Let me tell you, from the moment you are born, your position will be where you are born.
There is no neutral and fair statement, do you understand?"
Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Of course. This is the same in every country."
Gu Weihong smiled with satisfaction and said: "No wonder Su Zhi likes you so much. You are sensible. Have you ever thought about how ATV can make a profit? Don't suffer too much."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "That's not true. I still have experience in making cultural content."
Gu Weihong said with interest: "Tell me about it."
Zhang Qing paused and said: "Hong Kong Island's system for filming TV series is already relatively mature. Once the Hengdian Film and Television City is built, a large number of high-quality TV series will be produced. Previously, most of the TV movies on Hong Kong Island were shot in simple studios.
.You can make a lot of money by directly remaking it and selling it to major TV stations in the mainland."
Gu Wei's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Is it more profitable than your foreign exchange speculation?"
Zhang Qing smiled helplessly: "How can it be compared to... In terms of the speed of making money, robbing banks is not as fast as making money in finance."
Gu Weihong couldn't help but said in disappointment: "Zhang Qing, how many times can my 20 million be doubled this time? Give me an accurate answer, otherwise I won't even be able to eat well."
Zhang Qing thought for a while and said: "By the end of this year, there will still be no problem with 200 million."
Hearing this, Gu Weihong sighed and said, "Look at your mother-in-law. She lives in a big villa in the United States, rides in a luxury car, and plays comfortably in the ranch. I heard that Juanzi is still watching yachts and straight boats.
Lifting a plane?"
Zhang Qingqian smiled, nodded and said: "I'm planning to buy it. I earned a lot from following Johnson, so I have to pay some protection fees to make them think that all the money will be spent in the United States. If there is less trouble, there will be less trouble."
In fact, a very good yacht only costs a few million US dollars, a civilian helicopter with good stability only costs two to three million US dollars, and those with tens of millions are considered big guys.
But the reason for spending money is not only the reason mentioned by Zhang Qing, but also because American companies make money.
If the money earned from two albums and two movies is not spent, people who can pay taxes will vomit blood.
The part you spend can actually reduce your taxes. The more you spend, the more you will get tax deductions. After all, the yacht and the helicopter are just like gifts from the U.S. Taxation Bureau...
Gu Weihong was still envious: "When will I be able to buy a villa and a yacht in the United States?"
Zhang Qing smiled, knowing that this was an offer.
He didn't feel disgusted, but felt relaxed.
Many times, things that can be solved with money are much easier than owing favors.
He and Gu Weihong didn't have much of a friendship in the first place, but they owed favors repeatedly, which made him even more stressed.
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Aunt Gu, if I want to give you these, you will definitely disagree. How about this? I'll work hard and try to expand your 20 million income as much as possible."
Gu Weihong waved her hand and said: "Don't give me subsidies privately, that's outrageous. If I want to collect money, I won't only have 20 million in hand."
Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "Aunt Gu, you can rest assured that this will not happen. I originally thought that after helping Hong Kong Island defeat Johnson, I would collect less blood rewards, so as not to let the people of Hong Kong Island think that we were taking advantage of the situation. Later I figured it out.
Well, since Hong Kong Island advocates capital operation, it makes no sense to only allow British and American capital to feast, but our compatriots are not qualified to eat?"
Gu Weihong said happily: "Really? Are you so confident in defeating Johnson?"
Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Johnson will lose. There is no problem with that. It's just that his efforts this time have also brought the Hong Kong stock market and real estate market to a shambles, which is terrible. The stock market is relatively easy to recover, but the real estate market may take ten years.
Only in this way can we regain our strength. Aunt Gu, after this time, it is hard to say whether it will be convenient to buy a luxury house in the United States, but you will definitely be able to buy a luxury house on Hong Kong Island that you like. But don’t buy too much, just buy a place you like and enough to live in."
Gu Weihong smiled and said: "Just tell me, if you were allowed to make money freely, how much could I earn from my 20 million?"
Zhang Qingdao: "Three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, no problem."
Gu Weihong clapped her hands happily and said: "Okay! Then it's 300 million, I've written it down!"
As for the Broadcasting Administration of Hong Kong Island, you don’t have to worry. I have a very good relationship with the Guo family of Hong Kong Island. Their whole family works in the Hong Kong government, and they are knights, justices of the peace and members of the parliament. Don’t worry, I
Help you solve it."
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Gu."
"By the way, there is also the matter of the Yue family. Don't be too impulsive in the future. The Yue family loves their children... The old man just left now, and his family still gave us some face. In a few years, it will be hard to say..."
…
"Qingzi, why do I think you are so happy? Is there such a good TV station?"
After returning home, she saw that Zhang Qing was in a good mood, and Zhou Yanyan asked with a smile.
Zhang Qing nodded and smiled: "Although mainland TV stations have been reformed and separated production and broadcasting, there are too few things to film. Everything is blocked and everything is controlled, which is not enough! There is a TV station on Hong Kong Island, which is different.
, starting from Hong Kong Island and radiating to 30 million Chinese people in Southeast Asia. This market can support us to shoot many major dramas that are not allowed to be filmed in the mainland. Of course, we can also shoot many dramas that are not allowed to be broadcast in the mainland and sell them in. In this way, we can wait for the TV station to become bigger
In the end, money is a trivial matter, and its influence is one of our strongest protective aces!"
Zhou Yanyan asked in confusion: "Amulet? Is there anyone else bullying us?"
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Now we rely on others to live comfortably. When we become bigger and stronger in the future, we will live on our own. Are you happy when no one bullies you?"
Zhou Yanyan giggled and said, "Of course I'm happy! But I'm very happy now. Of course, I know you're the one who's responsible for it. Qingzi, thank you."
Zhang Qing said angrily: "Come on! What did the old lady say to you today? Why did she look at me with a somewhat unkind look before she left?"
Zhou Yanyan hehehe, shook her head and said: "Nothing!"
But the look he looked at Zhang Qing was as gentle as water.
Zhang Qing paused and said with a smile: "I called Brother Fusheng and asked him and his sister-in-law to go to my aunt's grave tomorrow to burn more paper money, sweep away the snow, and place more offerings. Brother Fusheng said that he would
Bring a tape recorder and play your tape a few times for Auntie to listen to."
Tomorrow is the death anniversary of Zhou Yanyan’s mother.
Zhou Yanyan was shocked when she heard this, then she said "Oh!" and said angrily: "Why did Sister Haiping say it out..."
Zhang Qing said warmly: "She secretly went to Eqi County to get these, but Wei Qiang... her ex-husband hit her and couldn't get away. Fortunately, a friend of the uncle in the county recognized him and helped him send her back to Bayi.
The village can no longer hide it."
Zhou Yanyan blamed herself: "It's all my fault..."
Zhang Qingdao: "You should have told me about this from the beginning...are you still seeing me outside?"
Zhou Yanyan raised her eyes to look at Zhang Qing, pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head and said in silence, "Then I can give Brother Fusheng and Sister-in-law some money?"
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "No, your money-making sister-in-law has to call you and scold you. It's not like you don't know how much they want to force you. Okay, now they treat you as one of the family, why are you so polite? I really miss you right now."
You can also offer a memorial tablet at home."
Zhou Yanyan wrinkled her nose at him and said with a smile: "That won't work!"
Zhang Qingqi asked: "Why not?"
Zhou Yanyan chuckled: "Juanzi won't be able to do it in the future, let alone me?"
Zhang Qing suddenly couldn't bear to speak harshly...
Seeing him sitting there silently, Zhou Yanyan put her legs together, touched her toes, and laughed softly: "Qingzi, just treat me as a family member. I won't cause any trouble to you and Juanzi."
Zhang Qing nodded and said: "You will always be my family, and our family will always treat you as a relative. But I think you can choose a better life..."
Zhou Yanyan rolled her eyes at him and said: "You are still teaching others. What kind of life I think is the best, I definitely know better than you. I think I also know better than many people outside. For so much money, it takes
What's the use of reputation, status... To me, talent is the most important thing. Stop arranging me with what you think is a good idea!"
Hearing this, Zhang Qing smiled hoarsely, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You are already so old, it is up to you to make the decision."
Zhou Yanyan's eyes brightened a lot when she heard this, and she stood up happily and said, "Then you have a rest for a while, and I'll go downstairs to feed you!"
After that, he got up to leave, but when he passed by Zhang Qing, he stopped, looked at Zhang Qing, leaned down, hugged him, and then walked away proudly while humming a funny tune...
