Chapter 715: Real estate as a gift
Even if there is no appointment from Liu Qingshan, Chen Yixun's future agent will persuade him to perform, which is an excellent opportunity to expand overseas influence.
The Chinese-language TV station in Los Angeles has recorded and broadcasted the event. Except that it is not very formal in terms of scale, in fact, most of the preparations by the organizers have been completed.
He has many famous songs, and there are also many songs that are well-known to overseas Chinese. Even when he sang "King of K-Song" and "Today Next Year", the audience sang loudly.
As the finale, he sang a total of four songs, ending with a Mandarin version of "Ten Years".
This song seems to have spread more widely. Not only did more people join in the chorus, but even Liu Qingshan couldn't help humming along in the end.
The organizer's unique way of giving awards also made him chuckle. Just when the last song was about to end, the staff in the audience personally handed Chen Yixun a big red envelope.
That red envelope was not the size in the traditional sense, but as big as a folder, and it was packed to the brim. At a rough glance, it looked like it was worth a hundred thousand dollars.
Since previous actors had received similar treatment, Chen Yixun did not mistake it as a gift from a fan, so he accepted it calmly.
And according to the tradition here, red envelopes cannot be refused. More or less, it all depends on the reaction of the audience. The more enthusiastic the response, the greater the amount in the red envelope.
This is also a common rule in Chinatowns in the United States. It is a very traditional way of giving rewards. Its nature is more like the red envelope etiquette during festivals.
When Chen Yixun came off the stage, he subconsciously handed the red envelope to Liu Qingshan. After all, he is currently a signed singer of Snowland Records, and it is an industry rule for the boss to take a commission.
Liu Qingshan shook his head very covertly. In the presence of a large audience, even if he could be picked up, he would not pick him up. Besides, there was no such consideration in the first place.
So Chen Yixun made some reckless moves, but Chen Jiaying beside him was so angry that she stretched out her hand and twisted it hard under his ribs.
Jin Xishan quickly explained to him in a low voice: "Eason, Shanzi has no intention of making money through you when he signs you. Of course, some expenses will be deducted to maintain a series of publicity and production, but this kind of announcement expenses are not included. It does not
Not under the terms of the performance contract!”
In fact, this is also the case. Chen Yixun always thought that he would not get any money when he came here, and it was just a simple act of flattery.
Chen Jiaying probably meant the same thing. She believed that even if it was necessary to hand it in, it should not be done on such an occasion.
However, Liu Qingshan saw all her subconscious behavior, and he liked this person a lot more.
Although this person has not yet signed a formal manager contract with Chen Yixun, she is known for her careful care of her artists in private. When she sees that the rumors are true, Liu Qingshan will increasingly recognize her.
The lunch session that followed was lively and full of human touch. The noisy atmosphere among the neighbors was a little too chaotic, but it was a childhood memory in the hearts of all Chinese.
According to the words of the old president Huang Zhixiong, he grew up eating the food of hundreds of neighbors. He even knows better than other children how the food will be improved by one family on a certain day.
So he applied this feeling to the annual annual meeting, and the effect was unexpectedly good.
Over the past few decades, not only have the relationships among Chinese in the entire Chinatown area become closer and closer, but also in some nearby areas

Chinese families in the city are willing to come over and join in the fun.
And it is indeed a great pleasure to taste dishes carefully prepared by different families. They have a more down-to-earth atmosphere that hotels do not have, and the taste is also completely different.
Even when the annual meeting comes to dinner every year, there are few people outside to watch. There is no room for the hundreds of banquet tables in the ancestral hall. Local residents will also invite you to dine at their homes. Anyway, there will always be Chinese merchants.
Adequate cost subsidy.
Of course, people here will only accept people with Chinese faces. At most, they will allow foreign faces from Chinese families to follow them. Those foreigners who are watching the excitement will not have such preferential treatment.
So every day on this day, the business of Chinese restaurants in Chinatown is extremely booming. Once you enter, you will find that they are all foreigners, and many of them are even wearing various cheongsams and mandarin jackets, as if they are bringing their families here.
A certain Chinese festival.
However, no matter how business is booming, on this day, all restaurants will not allow fraud or price gouging. Authenticity of the dishes is the most basic requirement, in order to maintain the reputation of overseas Chinese.
After learning this, Liu Qingshan was filled with emotion because he saw the power of unity among the Chinese people here.
There are usually gangs in Chinatown and nearby areas, and there are quite a few of them. However, only on the day of the annual annual meeting, these forces will all disappear. It is said that even daily enemies will gather their hatred on this day.
Try our best to maintain the unity of the Chinese people.
Even during the Chinese New Year every year, it is not as harmonious and friendly as on the day of the annual meeting, which is a miracle in the overseas Chinese community.
This also made Liu Qingshan's original favorable impression of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce even more favorable. In a good mood, he also quickly accepted the three people Wang Songnian and Wang Songnian brought by Fan Shengyang.
Of course, the premise was that Fan Shengyang pulled him aside and described the situation he had just learned.
Regardless of the existence of the Hongmen Association, the growth experience of the three people in this group is surprisingly similar to that of the Zhang family in Yonglian County.
The three of them were from the same sect. In fact, most of the disciples in the Hongmen Association today who still have cultivation skills belong to the same sect.
Although Huanba Ye of Huanba Hall is not the highest in cultivation, he is a direct descendant of the ancient martial arts force of Huanmen. Among the three, Wang Songnian, who has the highest cultivation level, is his nephew, even though they are not much different in age.
As for Zhao Lusheng, who is at the sixth level, he is the eldest disciple of the eighth master, who is the third generation successor. Wang Songnian is the disciple of his fourth generation brother Huan Bingyi. Huan Bingyi is more than ten years older than the eighth master and was also the president before.
People who know how to do it, but now they have stepped back.
The Huan family was not the most senior faction in Hongmen. It only joined five years later. At that time, the second generation of the Huan family entered Hongmen following a strange man. The appearance of that person was quite similar to Bian Lianxi.
He also fled overseas to avoid being pursued by a hidden force in the country.
Therefore, the situation that the Huan family encountered was miraculously similar to that of the Zhang family. The same generation received treatment from that strange man and moved into the Huan family again.
The only difference from Bian Lianxi is that this Jianghu figure has an old acquaintance in Hongmen. After he fully recovered from his injuries, he officially joined Hongmen.
Today, that strange man is still alive, but he is already over 110 years old. His cultivation level is exactly what Wang Songnian is now, and will be perfected the day after tomorrow.
On the contrary, the Huan family generation died early, so that person
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A man named Peng Sihai assumed the position of the Huan family.
In fact, the Huan family also came from ancient martial arts, but they lost a large part of their inheritance. They are very similar to the Zhang family's martial arts family. It was through the teachings of Peng Sihai that they returned to the ancient martial arts category.
Now the Huan family are all disciples of the Hongmen Association. As Peng Sihai's status becomes higher and higher, his power also increases.
However, the Hongmen General Association is different from the branches scattered around the country. Almost every branch is a heritage, so those who are promoted to the general association are often the powerful factions in each branch, which also makes the general association full of factions.
, although they are not at odds with each other, there are internal struggles.
This is not surprising at all. Wherever there are people, there will be struggles. Compared with most other civil organizations that are fragmented and fighting for power, Hongmen today is rarely stable.
This is because Peng Sihai has a deep foundation in the Hongmen Federation, and other outsiders have no choice but to stir up trouble. This shows that the Huan family still has a solid foundation in the Hongmen Federation.
The most important thing about the replacement is that Peng Sihai is actually related to Bian Lianxi's disciple, Shushi Pavilion in Huaying Mountain. Although he does not know Bian Lianxi, the junior, he has met several times with the uncle who protected his escape.
Of course, this information was the result of Fan Shengyang calling Bian Lianxi in China after hearing about it, and he had already spoken to Peng Sihai at that time.
Naturally, there are things that happened in the ancient martial arts world decades ago that he would not talk about on the phone. However, Peng Sihai promised Bian Lianxi that he would find an opportunity to return to China in the next few months. Maybe some answers would be solved by then.
The mystery of how their respective sects were attacked in the dark.
With this person as an intermediary, Liu Qingshan would naturally accept the three of Wang Songnian, and Peng Sihai also specifically told Fan Shengyang that the three of them were trustworthy people.
However, at the wine table, Liu Qingshan did not have too in-depth communication with them. He only left his hotel address and mobile phone number.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, he took people to Venice Beach, which is a seaside area in the West District of Los Angeles. It is famous for its canals, beaches and street performers. It is also the headquarters of PT Company and the only physical store location for external sales.
Before saying goodbye, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also sealed a big red envelope for Liu Qingshan and opened it after he got to the car. In addition to the cash of 300,000 US dollars, there was also a red envelope located at the intersection of Chinatown and closer to Star Avenue.
Property ownership certificate and door key for a suite in a mixed-use commercial and residential building.
It's just that the name registered above is someone else's name, and you need to go through the account change procedures in the future.
He handed these things to Shi Hui casually and asked her to find Wang Huansheng to handle the matter. He was not surprised by the gift of real estate. After all, with his worth, he could buy at least two such houses at the cost of one notice.
of units.
But to express his gratitude, he immediately called Nian Erhuai, who told him that the house could be given to Taylor for use when he was not in Los Angeles.
So after Liu Qingshan hung up the phone, he simply transferred the property to Taylor on the spot. This was little Taylor's first property after coming to Los Angeles. But she was so happy that she immediately called her parents to tell the good news.
In fact, the psychology of old Americans is similar to that of Chinese people in this regard. Only when they have their own house can they have a real sense of presence in the local area.
