The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 50 A Gift to the Old Man
Wan Chai, outside the hotel.

Wu Shihao, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette. The Duan Qi beside him suddenly patted him on the shoulder, then pointed to the rear right and motioned him to look.

Wu Shihao turned his head to look, and saw a car slowly approaching and stopped beside him, the door was pushed open, and the two brothers Dawei and Xiwei got out of the car.

"Brother Hao!" The two greeted in unison.

Wu Shihao asked: "How is the matter going?"

Dawei said: "It's done. Those idiots in the New Territories know how to bluff. I brought people there and immediately gave up. Seven or eight initials have agreed to join us. I will negotiate the rest tomorrow."

Wu Shihao looked at Xiwei, Xiwei said: "Brother Hao, I have also settled the matter here. The boss of the newspaper office has agreed to transfer this newspaper office, and the contract can be signed at any time."

"This is something that Brother Qiancheng told me, so don't cause any trouble." Wu Shihao reminded.

Xiwei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for Brother Qiancheng."

"That's good." Wu Shihao nodded, threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand on the ground and stomped it out, "Dumb Seven, take the gift, let's go in and congratulate Brother Qiancheng on his engagement."

The lobby box on the second floor of the hotel is completely arranged according to the buffet dinner of the upper class. The whole venue is based on pure white, with pink as the auxiliary tone, highlighting the romantic atmosphere.

"Congratulations on your engagement. It took a lot of effort to catch up with Zhou Anni, right?" Lei Luo raised his glass.

Zhang Jin took a glass of wine from the passing waiter, clinked the glasses lightly, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I don't think you have bothered to chase Sir Zhou's daughter."

The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing what the other was really after.

After drinking, Lei Luo sighed: "But to be honest, I admire you very much. Zhou Anni is notoriously hard to catch up in the circle. Many rich young masters have failed. How did you do it?"

"It's simple, do what you want."

"This is what I'm curious about. It is said that Zhou Anni is a music fanatic. Do you understand this?"

"I understand a little bit." Zhang Jin said modestly, "I just wrote a new song for her every month, and I persisted for a year."

It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to chase Anni Zhou, but for him, it is just a matter of copying a few songs.

"You said you know movies and music, so it's great to be right." Lei Luo said.

Zhang Jin shook his head lightly: "The Hong Kong British government collects protection fees for the Chinese, the police collect protection fees for prefixes, and the prefixes collect protection fees for ordinary people. Who is unlucky in the end? Isn't it upright? Society is like this, big fish eat small fish, Little fish eat dried shrimps, you just go straight and wait to be bullied?"

Lei Luo smiled and declined to comment.

"Young Master Jin, my boss is looking for you." A personal bodyguard of Zhou Yecheng came to send a message.

"Okay, I'll go now." Zhang Jin bid farewell to Lei Luo, and followed the bodyguards to a small side hall next to the venue.

The bodyguard closed the door, leaving only Zhang Jin and Zhou Yecheng in the room.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

"It's still Uncle, it's time to change your mouth." Zhou Yecheng turned around and said with a smile, "Sit down, I have some questions for you about what you said last time."

"Dad, you ask." Zhang Jin sat on the sofa.

Zhou Yecheng opened the door and said, "I've thought about it for a while. What you said is that you can make a lot of money by quietly transporting goods to the mainland and Southeast Asia for purchase, but the problem is that the routes in these places are very dangerous. Not to mention the Taiwan government's blockade of the mainland, there are so many pirates in Southeast Asia, how do you ensure that the goods can be delivered safely?"

Zhang Jin knew that Zhou Yecheng would agree to it sooner or later. In the face of huge benefits, most people could not resist the temptation, not to mention that not all wealthy businessmen in this era are serious people.

He smiled and said, "Dad, as I said last time, I have friends who can handle the Marine Police and the Administration of Industry and Commerce. You don't have to worry about shipping safety. I can find reliable people to ensure the safety of the goods. As long as you Nod your head and agree, I will take care of this matter with full authority."

Zhou Yecheng said: "I appreciate your ability very much, so how to divide the profits of this business?"

Zhang Jin said: "Except for the [-]% profit that I gave to my two friends, the rest belongs to you. What do you think?"

"What about you, I can't let you work for nothing."

"This is a gift from me to you. I heard that there have been a lot of bad rumors in the British family recently. I hope this way can help you shut up those people." Zhang Jin observed the other party's expression, " What's more, you have promised to marry your daughter to me."

Zhou Yecheng nodded with satisfaction: "I read the right person, you are just like me back then. You know what you want and what you should want, so that you can climb higher and higher. It is the right choice for Annie to marry you, not only her I'm happy, and I'm happy too."

"You flatter me!"

"Go out, it's almost time, don't delay the engagement ceremony." Zhou Yecheng got up and said.

"Dad, please go first."

The Zhou family has a lot of influence in Xiangjiang, and many people from high society were invited to the engagement banquet tonight.

Zhou Yecheng took Zhang Jin to introduce each other and helped him expand his network, which was also a thank you for the gift he gave.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the engagement ceremony officially began.

After exchanging rings, Zhang Jin looked at Zhou Anni into the microphone and said: "The first time we met was at the birthday party of a friend, Miss Bai Yue'e, more than a year ago. After "City", you said with tears in your eyes that you are easily moved by music.

We met again in a western restaurant a year ago, and you were playing the violin there, and the guests around were eating and chatting on their own, and no one noticed your wonderful piano sound.But you are not lost, because you have been immersed in your own world at that time.

It was precisely because I saw you like that that day that I was inspired to write the later song "River Flows in You". Later, you said that you were moved for a whole week after listening to this song.

Every month since then, I will write a new song for you.Every person who can be moved by music has a gentle, pure and beautiful soul in his heart. I like you like this.

Today is the day of our engagement, and I have a piece of music that I have prepared for a long time that I want to play for you.I know that your favorite piece is Canon and Jigue in D major composed by Pachelbel. Based on this piece, I arranged it into a piano piece in C major. I hope you like it. "

After speaking, Zhang Jin stepped forward to hug Anni Zhou, then sat down in front of the piano beside him, took a deep breath, and started playing.

Zhang Jin has heard the piano piece "Canon" on many occasions, including various musical instrument versions, and the piano version is his favorite.The piano version that is widely circulated now is not the original version, but the C major adaptation by American composer George Winston in 1982, which is gentle, delicate and touching.

The sound of the piano gradually rose, and the notes jumped, echoing throughout the hall.

There is no passionate rhythm and strong emotional changes, the seemingly plain work, as the music is played, everyone present is immersed in it, just standing there and listening to the sound of the piano, as if time stands still at this moment up.

I don't know when the playing will end, and the sound of the piano has stopped.

After a long time, everyone came back to their senses and gave the warmest applause!
Luo Hao stared at Bai Yue'e next to him dumbfounded: "Hey, I'm not engaged to you, why are you crying?"

"I'm happy, my good sister Annie has found a lifelong trustee, no way!" Bai Yue'e applauded while wiping her tears.

Amid the applause, Zhang Jin got up and hugged the teary-eyed woman who was about to become his wife next to him again.
