Chapter 510 A big deal(2/3)
The two thousand-brew mansion is very big. Stephen Chow's family has never lived in such a big house in their lifetime. The house is empty, there is no furniture or appliances, and even the words are echoed.
But this is not the most shocking. The family of three walked around the house and Stephen Chow turned off the lights.
He pulled his mother and sister to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Xiangjiang in the night is like a stunning beauty in light clothes and gauze. Na Yao is burning in front of her eyes, arousing the deepest desire in people's hearts.
The tall buildings are lined up one after another, with colorful colors, red and passionate, blue and brilliance, and the brilliance of yellow. The interweaving of various lights makes the whole city seem like a city that never sleeps.
The lights on the bridges and roads outline bright jade belts, with traffic flowing endlessly.
There are lights on the sea farther away. They are cargo ships and cruise ships entering and leaving the port. They are slowly driving on the sea, looming, adding a different kind of tranquility to the lively night view in front of you.
"Wow! This is the night view I saw halfway up the mountain!" Zhou Xingxia's face was tightly pressed against the glass, as if she was looking at the world in a dream.
Stephen Chow understood the shock in his sister's heart very well. Looking down from the mansion in the middle of the mountain, you can see the night view of the entire Xiangjiang River.
It is an ultimate prosperity and splendor, which makes people deeply attracted by the charm of this city, as if they are in a dreamy world, immersed in this dazzling light and endless hustle and bustle.
After a brief shock, his mother Ling Baoer finally asked, "Xingzai, did you buy this house?
How much did it cost?”
My son is now a big star and he is making more and more money. It is completely acceptable to buy a luxury house, but he may have to pay off the loan.
But Stephen Chow shook his head, "It was not bought, it was given by the boss."
"Send it?"
Sister Zhou Xingxia burst into a sharp voice, her tone was full of disbelief, and even her mother Ling Baoer looked at him with surprise.
"The Gambler was a great success and became the first movie to have a box office of over HK$40 million. The boss said he would reward me, and the director also had a set of things."
Ling Baoer and Zhou Xingxia were unable to react to this huge surprise. After a while, Zhou Xingxia exclaimed:
"Brother, your boss is too generous, right? Such a big house costs at least three million, right?"
"More than that, it costs 4.5 million." Stephen Chow always wanted to change houses, so he was very concerned about housing prices. He blurted out his words as he listened to his sister.
"4.5 million? I'll give it as you say it!"
Zhou Xingxia's words express the voice of her mother Ling Baoer.
She still remembers two years ago that her son suddenly ran home one day and said that he had signed a contract with the film company.
It's time to act in a movie.
At that time, Ling Baoer thought his son was talking big. He used to be a host on TVB and often said he would act in TV series. But when the TV series was broadcast, Ling Baoer searched it in it, but he didn't find his son.
But later the development of things made Ling Baoer unexpected that his son actually acted in a movie.
From the third male lead to the first male lead, from obscurity to popular in Xiangjiang.
In just two years, his son became the most popular movie star in Xiangjiang. Ling Baoer still thinks of him in a dream.
She looked at the big house in front of her, and her emotions of surprise and relief were intertwined, and finally she said: "Xingzai, you have found a good boss!"
Stephen Chow nodded sincerely.
The lively summer season has ended, and Lin's Film has gained a relative advantage in the head-on battle with Jiahe.
It is tantamount to declaring its strength to the entire Xiangjiang film industry and establishing its dominant position in the film industry.
But this dominance is not stable yet, and Lin's Pictures has more to do.
For example, create more high-quality projects, expand your own distribution channels, and strengthen international cooperation-
Every job requires huge time, energy and capital costs, but Tao Yushu enjoys it and even has the energy to take into account the management and development of Yulang's organization.
In mid-September, Yulang Institution announced that it had reached a strategic agreement with Huacheng Publishing House in the Mainland.
Starting from November, classic works such as "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Chinese Heroes", "Tatagata's God Palm", and "Drunk Fist" by Yulang's organization will be listed in the "Comic King" magazine published by Huacheng Publishing House. "Comic King" is the first comic semi-monthly magazine in the mainland.
In addition to the fact that its works will be published in mainland comic magazines, these works will also be published in the mainland market in the future in the form of single-line books.
As soon as the news came out, the stock price of Yulang Institution rose in response to the news.
In the capital market, the most important thing about a listed company is not how good its performance is, but how to tell stories.
The Yulang Institution clearly said in a deep way.
In the concept of many people in Xiangjiang, the mainland economy is backward and cannot be considered a high-quality market.
But in the eyes of capital, we see a wide market of one billion people.
In such a country with a large population, even if only one thousandth of the population reads Yulang's comic works, it will have a million audiences and sales!
Such a scale will never be achieved simply by relying on the Xiangjiang market.
Therefore, from the perspective of capital, no one dares to underestimate the market potential of the mainland, even if its economy is not yet developed.
The positive news of reaching a strategic agreement with mainland publishing houses has been digested for nearly a week. Yulang Institution's stock price has risen by more than 50%, with a market value approaching HK$1.6 billion, and it is getting closer to the moment of returning to its peak.
On Friday night, Tao Yushu ordered a midnight snack for the employees who were still working overtime at the work station, and then she walked out of the Yulang Building amid the cheers of the employees.
The black flat car was parked downstairs of the company, and the driver Xu Weiguo was already standing in front of the car door waiting.
After getting on the bus, Xu Weiguo gently closed the door and returned to the main driving. In a few seconds, the car started smoothly.
Tao Yushu's eyes wandered on the street for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Xu, haven't been home for half a year, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Tao." Xu Weiguo replied meticulously.
"Do you miss home?"
Xu Weiguo hesitated for a moment, "I don't want to."
Tao Yushu didn't say anything, waiting for his explanation.
"I grew up in Shandong and stayed in Yanjing for 8 years, and I couldn't leave my hometown.
But people also have to live, thank you for your blessing. I earn more in one month in Xiangjiang than working in my hometown for three years, and I don’t know how much my life at home is better than that back then.
If you ask me to go back now, I will definitely not go back.”
Listening to Xu Weiguo's words, Tao Yushu chuckled on her face. She liked this feeling of bringing hope to other people's lives.
"Have you ever thought about bringing your parents, wife and children to Hong Kong?"
Xu Weiguo smiled and said, "How dare you think about it! The housing prices in Xiangjiang are too expensive."
Xu Weiguo is nominally a driver of Tao Yushu, but in fact he also serves as a bodyguard. His monthly salary is 15,000, which is far higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers in Xiangjiang.
"I like it for a few years, and you can pay a down payment first." Tao Yushu suggested.
"What you said is reasonable. But to me, Xiangjiang is not home after all."
Hearing what Xu Weiguo said, a complicated look flashed in Tao Yushu's eyes.
"Yes, Xiangjiang is not home after all!"
When she returned home, Tao Yushu was in a bad mood. Lin Chaoyang thought she was tired and urged her to take a shower and go to bed.
Tao Yushu grabbed him, "There's something today."
"What's up?"
"Today, Yu Ye Zhanhua from the Youth Chamber of Commerce found me. She said that the top ten outstanding young people this year are about to be selected.
She wants to nominate me."
The Youth Chamber of Commerce, namely the International Youth Chamber of Commerce, Yu Ye Zhanhua is the president of the Xiangjiang Federation.
The International Youth Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit youth organization established in the early 20th century, with the purpose of cultivating young leaders and entrepreneurs around the world.
It is one of the world's largest youth leadership organizations today, and has close cooperation with many international organizations including the United Nations Economic and Social Council and UNESCO.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"Overall, it's a good thing. But what she means is that I will join the Youth Chamber of Commerce and the Xiangjiang Women's Association first so that things can continue to progress."
Lin Chaoyang pondered slightly, and Yu Ye Zhanhua’s request was understandable. Who wouldn’t want to nominate his own person?
"Don't you?"
Tao Yushu hesitated and said, "It's just that the hurdle in my heart has not passed. I used to think that it would be better to do business with a sense of identity, but this year there have been more and more invitations to such organizations and events."
Lin Chaoyang understood the thread in Tao Yushu's heart. She always took pride in being a Chinese with a strong root.
Somewhat is resistant to the contact between the Hong Kong government and the official organization. "This kind of thing is icing on the cake, it depends on yourself. I personally think that joining is still beneficial, not only to better integrate into the Hong Kong commercial society, but I think the domestic government is happy to see it."
Tao Yushu understood what he meant after a brief thought. This is what Lin Chaoyang often joked about when he was in the mainland.
"I'll think about it again."
Lin Chaoyang joked, "I don't have a chance to evaluate the 'Top Ten Outstanding Youths'. Now I have to take the initiative to nominate you, you don't cherish it."
Tao Yushu gave him a delicate look, "Do you think people have never thought about nominating you?"
"What's the meaning?"
"The Youth Chamber of Commerce really considered nominating you. After all, you won the Lenolds Prize in Literature last year, bringing glory to Hong Kong!
Unfortunately, after checking, I found out that you were just a residence, and then they thought of me."
