Rebirth of Hong Kong: Rising Era

Chapter 126 Emotions
"I'm back!" Wang Yaodong opened the door and shouted to the people inside.

"Wash your hands first, you can eat now!" Lizhi poked his head out of the kitchen and said.

"Okay, what delicious food did you cook today?" Wang Yaodong walked to the kitchen with a smile and asked.

Lizhi was loading the freshly fried dishes on the plate. Without turning her head, she said with a smile: "These are some of your favorite dishes."

Wang Yaodong also smiled when he heard this. Here, it feels more and more like home.

Maybe staying at home is also boring, so Lizhi basically cooks by herself every day, and rarely eats out.

After the two had dinner, they went for a walk downstairs again, with Han Feng and the others following 100 meters behind.

Lizhi is going to study abroad soon, so Wang Yaodong often comes to her place recently. After all, there are not many chances of tenderness there!
"Is the flight booked?"

The two were walking hand in hand on the street, and Wang Yaodong asked subconsciously.

"Yeah~" Lizhi paused for a moment before continuing: "It's already booked and we'll be leaving on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!"

Wang Yaodong heard this and put his arm around her waist to bring her closer to him.

Although they were just coveting her beauty in the beginning, they will develop feelings after being together for a long time.

Lizhi didn't resist and let him hug her.

Things finally turned out relatively well. She was just grateful at the beginning and now has some emotion.

It's just that this emotion came at the wrong time, and the separation and cooling began before it reached the strong point!
"Boss, that's the guy!"

The two people who were still silent were suddenly disturbed by this very discordant sound.

When Wang Yaodong heard the voice, he raised his head and looked towards the voice, and at the same time made a gesture to Han Feng and the two people behind him.

He also saw clearly who it was at this time. It turned out to be a few people who were beaten in the alley that day. I don't know what happened this time, but he actually brought a few more people over.

"Hasn't our matter been resolved last time? What do you mean by blocking my way now?" Wang Yaodong said calmly as he looked at the dozen or so people opposite.

He also has a bodyguard now. Although there are only two behind him, it is still easy to deal with such a do-nothing gangster.

"Street boy, last time you were too weak to win and actually carried out a sneak attack. This time you are dead!" The gangster with the knife said viciously last time.

"Then what do you think now?" Wang Yaodong said with a relaxed look.

The man was not polite, and said with an evil smile: "Compensate for [-] yuan in medical expenses, and let your girlfriend play with us, or you can challenge us all, or we can all challenge you, and then follow Play with your girlfriend."

Wang Yaodong no longer wanted to talk nonsense to them at this time. Han Feng and the others had already walked up to him.

He signaled to the two of them with his eyes, and the two of them rushed forward with understanding.

Wang Yaodong took Lizhi two steps back, preparing to enjoy this wonderful scene.

The dozen or so people on the other side didn't expect the other party to be so fierce, and they rushed towards him as soon as they disagreed.

He was also caught off guard by this sudden scene. First, the two younger brothers were knocked down.

The boss then belatedly shouted: "Beat me to death."

He thought he had a chance to win, and he was still shouting uncertainly.

After just a few words of shouting, his little brothers all fell to the ground and started wailing.

At this time, his throat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and his expression was very frightened.

He also knows now that he has hit a brick wall!
I feel so regretful that I feel like I have torn the new boy's heart out with his own hands. He was so deceived by him!

"Brother, it's all a mistake. Give me a chance!" The boss said tremblingly, feeling like he was going to pee with fear.

It's just that Han Feng didn't hear Wang Yaodong's call to stop, so they didn't care about him. The two of them started beating him up.

Wang Yaodong looked around from behind, then walked over and said, "Han Feng, it's enough, don't beat people up."

When Han Feng heard this, he stopped with Zeng Tiejun, turned to Wang Yaodong and said: "Wang Sheng, we didn't do anything serious, it was all superficial injuries, nothing happened."

"That's good, let's go!" Wang Yaodong nodded and continued walking with Duo Lizhi, who had calmed down.

……

Time is like a galloping wild horse, fleeting.

In a few days, the Spring Festival will come.

"Han Feng, arrange for someone to buy couplets or something and post them in the villa." Wang Yaodong said to Han Feng while sitting in the car.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it later." Han Feng nodded and agreed.

"Wang Sheng, we are here." Zeng Tiejun, who was sitting in front, turned his head and said.

Wang Yaodong nodded, opened the car door, and took Han Feng and Zeng Tiejun upstairs first.

"Go to Yaodong and invest!" Wang Yaodong entered the elevator and said to Zeng Tiejun who was standing next to the buttons.

Zeng Tiejun received the order and pressed the floor.

It was a coincidence that today, there was an elevator that happened to reach the first floor and no one was waiting. It became a special elevator.

"Jianning, what are you busy with?" Wang Yaodong walked into Huo Jianning's office and asked with a smile when he saw him processing documents.

Huo Jianning raised his head when he heard the voice, smiled at Wang Yaodong and said, "Yes, I am still dealing with the real estate matter. It was just acquired not long ago, and there are still many things to be busy with."

After finishing speaking, he stopped processing the documents and stood up and sat down on the sofa.

"Sheng Wang, only twelve cinemas have been completed so far, and the remaining two days are enough. As for the acquired Shao's theater chain, they will be renovated after the Spring Festival." Huo Jianning sat down and reported directly. .

He knew that Wang Yaodong would basically not interfere in the company's affairs when he came here, and would just ask about the situation. Recently, he was more concerned about theater affairs, so this was still easy to guess.

"Is the equipment of Shao's Cinema chain aging seriously?" Wang Yaodong asked.

Because it had just been two days since the contract was signed, Wang Yaodong hadn't learned about the situation yet, so it was a good time to ask. After all, Huo Jianning had to worry about these things.

Huo Jianning nodded and replied: "The aging is indeed serious, and many insist on needing repairs, but if you stick to it for another year or two, it will be fine."

"Okay, let's start with the theater chain's promotion. Won't our theater chain be completed in the past two days?" Wang Yao explained.

"Okay, but what should we call our theater chain? Should it be Yaodong Theater Chain?" Huo Jianning asked.

Wang Yaodong thought about it, but he didn't think of a good name, and generally it would be just like a company.

So he nodded and agreed directly.

"Then who will the general manager of the theater chain ask to come?"

Huo Jianning raised the question again.

These words stumped Wang Yaodong again. To be honest, he hadn't considered this issue yet. He originally wanted Chen Baixiang to come.

However, it later acquired Shaw Cinemas, so what are the arrangements for the managers there now, plus those employees, that is the foundation of a cinema chain, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"You haven't thought about it yet?" Huo Jianning asked when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time.

"You said that, do you have any suggestions?" Wang Yaodong asked curiously.Huo Jianning smiled and said: "I do have a recommendation, a former manager of Shao's Cinema. It will be easier to settle down this way."

"I've thought about it too, but it's just that they control them. These are old fritters. I'm afraid they will fool them!" Wang Yaodong said helplessly.

After hearing this, Huo Jianning continued: "Then find a new one to be the vice president?"

"I'll think about it again and tell you before tomorrow." Wang Yaodong nodded.

He thinks this is reasonable. Only when rights are shared can they not be over-concentrated.

Next, Huo Jianning continued to introduce the company's situation to Wang Yaodong.

The two of them continued chatting like this, and they immediately reached the point where they couldn't help it, but fortunately, the conversation was finally over.

As the richest company under Wang Yaodong, it is indeed developing rapidly, but all projects are currently losing money.

There is no way around this. Investment ultimately depends on long-term returns, not just the immediate future.

"Let's have a meal together?" Wang Yaodong stood up and moved around.

Huo Jianning did not refuse and agreed directly.

So the two of them left the building together, went to a nearby restaurant, and walked in directly.

As a person with status, I always want to eat something good when I go out, so I rarely go to smaller restaurants now.

It actually takes a lot of time to finish a meal. In a big restaurant, it takes at least an hour.

Although neither of them drank because they had to go to work in the afternoon, Wang Yaodong returned to Yaodong Pictures. After entering the office, he went to the rest room and took a rest.

……

In the United States, the box office of "The End of the World" was not as high as it originally was due to the influence of almost all Chinese people.

The final box office was more than 5000 million yuan, which is still a big gap compared to the original version.

However, Wang Yaodong is already satisfied, which is quite a lot. In addition, due to the good start, he has now established a relationship with Lions Gate.

By the way, I sent the hero's true colors together with the God of Gamblers I just shot.

They all have a good vision. Compared with the God of Gamblers, they are more optimistic about the movie The True Colors of Heroes, and even sent out a request for a revision.

For the sake of money, Wang Yaodong didn't feel too embarrassed and almost agreed.

As for the screening, we must all go to Xiangjiang to start screening together.

He also made an agreement with the distributor in Taiwan and Country R, ​​and they will release it simultaneously.

……

One day passed quickly.

When he got up the next day, Wang Yaodong sat at the dining table, eating breakfast and reading today's newspaper.

As for Guan Jiahui in the bedroom, she was fast asleep and had no intention of getting up to have breakfast.

"I didn't expect that just yesterday I asked Huo Jianning to promote it. Today, all the mainstream media have this news, completely overshadowing other news." Wang Yaodong put down the newspaper and said with emotion.

Huo Jianning's ability is indeed strong, no wonder he can achieve such a high salary.

Compared to Wang Yaodong who felt refreshed at this time, some people were so angry that they broke several cups.

"Wang Yaodong, that street boy, didn't expect that the theater chain would be established so quickly. I don't know what Shao Yifu thought, but he actually sold the theater chain to him. In this way, his family's movie theaters were compared to There are even more Jiahe and Princess Jin." After losing his temper, Zou Wenhuai complained to his right-hand man He Guanchang.

He Guanchang was speechless when he saw the floor with broken glass everywhere. Why did he throw things? It was a waste of money and he had to clean them up.

"Should we issue a notice to all independent production companies? If we go to them to release the film, we will completely block them here." He Guanchang suggested.

Zou Wenhuai agreed to his suggestion without even thinking about it. He also thought of this method!
"Why don't we inform Princess Jin as well, they probably don't want to see Yaodong Films get up to speed." He Guan thought for a while.continued.

When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he also fell into thinking. This was okay, but he was afraid that Princess Jin would be completely strong by then.

It just seems that he has no choice now. Alone, facing the current Yaodong Cinema Line, he has no advantage at all.

"Okay, you ask what they mean." Zou Wenhuai said helplessly: "Aaron's development in the United States is not good either. Why don't we ask him to come back and focus on the market in Xiangjiang first? Don't let him fail to conquer the market there. , it’s still missing here.”

He Guanchang also had such worries, but Zou Wenhuai spoke first, and he agreed.

Princess Jin saw the newspaper this morning and regarded Yaodong Pictures as her biggest imaginary enemy.

After all, their side has been moving a lot recently, and it is already destined to part ways with them.

In a place as big as Xiangjiang, they have more than [-] movie theaters. What is this?
Are you leaving food for others to eat?
It just so happened that Jiahe also called and expressed interest in cooperation, and they immediately agreed.

Wang Yaodong also knows that Xiangjiang is not big, and more than 40 is indeed a bit too much.

But he is not afraid, because the next ten years will be the golden age of Hong Kong, and cinemas are not afraid that no one will watch.

And even if Xiangjiang Movies declines in the future, he can also convert cinemas into real estate. These are high-quality assets!

Movie theaters are always opened in prosperous areas, and these lands are the most valuable things.

……

Huo Yingdong also saw the newspaper at home. He had already known about this matter, but now he was still very moved when he saw it.

As a young businessman of the new generation, the distance from becoming a wealthy family is only a matter of background.

As long as he does not go bankrupt, he may soon be one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong.

He is also thinking now whether to introduce Wang Yaodong there.

His son Zhenting went downstairs and saw his father reading the newspaper in a daze, and walked over curiously.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Huo Yingdong came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I was just thinking about something."

Huo Zhenting saw that his father didn't want to say anything, so he stopped asking. After sitting down, he picked up the newspaper and started reading.

After looking at it for a few times, he murmured: Yaodong Investment has been a bit aggressive recently. It keeps making acquisitions. Is this because it wants to buy at the bottom?

He didn't quite understand that with the current situation in Xiangjiang, if you were to buy at the bottom, you wouldn't even be afraid of losing money.

Or do you really have the confidence to escape unscathed?
After thinking for a while, he picked up the milk and took a sip and said to Huo Yingdong: "Dad, I want to buy the bottom of the Xiangjiang property market for one billion yuan. What do you think?"

Huo Yingdong was also confused when asked, why was he so radical all of a sudden? Isn't this a bit uncharacteristic of his style?
"Why do you have such an idea?" Huo Yingdong became interested and asked.

Huo Zhenting pointed to the newspaper and said: "This Yaodong Investment has spent at least more than one billion to buy the bottom of the property market recently. Others are so confident, how can we be timid?"
