After taking a nap in his guest room, he got up in the afternoon and ordered a cup of coffee in the hotel cafe. Then song TIANYAO opened his notebook, picked up his pen and drew on it casually. Seeing his focused appearance, several British people came and stood beside him curiously. They thought song TIANYAO was a sketch lover, But when I saw that there were only English words and Chinese characters, I laughed at myself and left.
In fact, song TIANYAO was designing business cards. In Hong Kong in the 1950s, business cards were not a novelty, but not many people used them. Only celebrities, senior government officials and rich tycoons would customize their own business cards. Chu Xiaoxin, song TIANYAO's own boss, had never thought of designing business cards for himself, because he didn't have so many business parties, It's no use having sex with those people he knows.
However, since Song TIANYAO wants to meet with British officials from the trade and Industry Department for dinner, he naturally needs to prepare some business cards. He can't use the rough embryo of the Jianghu like Jin Ya Lei and Chen a Shi, but he must do enough for the British who pay attention to all kinds of rules and details.
There is no real design company in Hong Kong. Generally, the format and style of printed products are made by printing plants to help simple design and arrangement. Therefore, at this time, most of the Chinese signboards and even business cards of stores and shops in Hong Kong are similar in style, which is nothing more than the difference between horizontal and vertical style, and the font is the difference between regular script and line style.
That's because these stores and shops are used to looking for printing houses that work in their hometown to help make signboards and business cards, so they can save some expenses in the face of their hometown. However, song TIANYAO plans to go to the official printing unit of the Hong Kong colonial government and the Printing Bureau of the administrative branch of the chief secretary's office to help make business cards.
The colonial government didn't have so many documents to print in a year, but it couldn't let the printing equipment idle, so it was also open to business, but generally those British or foreign companies went to the Printing Bureau to help print. Chinese? At that time, most Chinese people had a simple idea. They would rather let their fellow villagers earn their own money than ghosts.
Therefore, the Printing Bureau's external printing business has always been very cold, but frankly speaking, the plate making talents working in the Printing Bureau are much better than those in most Chinese printing factories. There is no such thing. The staff of the Printing Bureau are civil servants of the Hong Kong colonial government. If they want to go in and find a job, they must at least really understand printing and design. The most important thing is, Those people design British ghost business cards all year round. They know the taste of those ghost people and won't have the joke of "Matchbox skin".
The so-called joke of matchbox skin is that after receiving a business card from a Chinese businessman, a Hong Kong British government official asked, "why do you give me a matchbox skin?"
Because most Chinese business cards are just black words on a white background. Just list their business name and add their name, telephone number and address. First, there is no English on them. Second, the arrangement of name, business name and address is very close to the words on the cover of matchboxes sold on the streets of Hong Kong at that time.
After making a draft, he got up and went out to the Printing Bureau by car. After giving the duty clerk a tip of 20 yuan, song TIANYAO's business was arranged for the workers to start immediately.
Bored song TIANYAO bought some books to pass the time in the bookstore of the Printing Bureau next to him.
An hour and a half later, song TIANYAO returned to dulis hotel with three boxes of designed and printed business cards in his hand.
When he came back, he just met Chu Xiaoxin, who was going to go back to his guest room to change his clothes and hold the singer. Chu Xiaoxin rarely curiously held song TIANYAO back to his guest room and specially asked him about Chu Xiaozhong's attitude towards himself.
"If my eldest brother is not going to pit me, he will be possessed by a ghost." Chu Xiaoxin said to song TIANYAO while wearing a tie in front of the mirror. "In the past, a word can make me uncomfortable. Now he is kind to me. Wow, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, otherwise you will be surprised to fall off the bus."
"Don't worry about Zhongshao. He won't care about you for the time being." song TIANYAO leaned against the wall next to him and looked at Chu Xiaoxin in the mirror with a cigarette in his mouth.
Chu Xiaoxin looked at Song TIANYAO from the mirror: "why? Just because he agreed with you to clear those hands of Likang?"
"Of course not. Zhongshao is a smart man. If it was before, I'm afraid he would say so, but not in the future, because you are different from before." song TIANYAO took a cigarette and smiled at Chu Xiaoxin. "Now you have a secretary full of intrigues to help you guard against him."
"Who said he was full of intrigues? Hey, will you go to Lichi garden in the evening?" Chu Xiaoxin listened to song TIANYAO's arrogant tone, smiled, put on his suit and coat and said to song TIANYAO, "I heard that some new singers have come."
"No, I'll wait for news from the Administration for Industry and Commerce in the coffee shop in the evening." song TIANYAO said to Chu Xiaoxin with a cigarette in his hand: "I found a ghost sister lawyer."
"True or false? Won't you catch 30000 yuan only after throwing it out? Is it beautiful enough?" Chu Xiaoxin was interested when he heard the words "ghost sister lawyer".
Song TIANYAO looked at Chu Xiaoxin's cheerful appearance and said with a smile, "Liang is pretty pretty, but she is too smart and has trouble dealing. Do you want to try?"
"Without time, I'm most afraid of trouble. If you want to see ghost girls, you'd better go to see those dancing ghost girls in Lichi garden. Money can solve the problem most easily. Even you think you're in trouble and want to push it to me? I won't be fooled." Chu Xiaoxin hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't nod.
Song TIANYAO nodded understandably: "then I'll have dinner with officials of the trade and Industry Department in two days and recruit outside the administrative branch of the chief secretary's office. Do you want to go there?"
"Do I have to go? You can handle it by yourself. It's up to you. If you really need to pull my flag, I'll come out again." Chu Xiaoxin patted song TIANYAO on the shoulder: "my old bean and my big brother said you were my lucky star. Let me treat you better."
"I'm not a woman. Do I need such meat? Is the pocket money enough?" song TIANYAO exaggerated a shiver and threw Chu Xiaoxin's hand down.
However, he was slightly moved. His boss could say that he was a flag and let song TIANYAO be the master. I'm afraid this trust between the host and the guest has been enough. Chu Xiaoxin knew that he was lack of ability. The best color is the flag of the young master of the Chu family. If he can speak to song TIANYAO calmly, he clearly recognized himself and song TIANYAO.
"Wow, I haven't seen you all night. You've become a millionaire. Are you qualified to ask me if I have enough pocket money?" Chu Xiaoxin looked at Song TIANYAO curiously and asked.
Song TIANYAO winked at him: "someone accidentally sent a sum of money last night. It may not be much, but I think there should be fifty or sixty thousand. If you are short of money, I'll lend you?"
"Don't exaggerate. I just praised you as a lucky star. You said you have money now, but I'm your boss. I borrow money from my secretary. Do I need to meet people? Leave it to you to chat up the ghost sister lawyer." Chu Xiaoxin laughed: "my old bean gave 5000 yuan last night. It's enough to drink and listen to music."
