v8 Chapter 512： Call from hk friend

Shui Bo's meaning is already obvious, he wants to take the initiative to befriend Lorraine.

If Lorraine hasn't solved the problem of Hongkong's support, he doesn't mind helping Lorraine.

As an out-and-out Hongkong person, Shui Bo is very clear about the problems that mainland businessmen will encounter when they want to invest in Hongkong.

First of all, it needs the support of local industries or forces with certain influence.

It's not a day or two for xenophobia here. It is estimated that even if Lorraine is here prepared, it will be difficult to negotiate. Therefore, Shui Bo wants to attack as soon as possible. If he can take the upper hand earlier, then... Maybe, Xin Ji is currently in the weakest situation of the three major underground forces in Hongkong, and it will be reversed.

As I said before, even the underground organizations are seeking money.

No one wants to fight and kill for a lifetime, dare to fight, dare to kill, but also in order to one day get ahead and live a life that was once impossible.

Speaking of it, Sin Kee was a well-known community in Hongkong many years ago. At that time, Sin Kee's business spread throughout Hongkong, and even overseas, there were also some businesses. It's a pity that after experiencing turbulence, he was no longer so strong, and finally was steadily crushed by Heliansheng and Black Star, who came from behind.

At present, the rankings of the Hongkong underground community from high to low are: Black Star, Heliansheng, and Xinji.

Wan Qiang, the leader of Black Star, is a mixed race who came to Hongkong from Thailand. His background is relatively low, but with this courage, he has made a big world. And he started his business by selling drugs and drugs. As we all know, the place referred to in the Golden Triangle is an area gathered in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and other places. There is a lot of A-goods. Wan Qiang came to Hongkong, not only Coming bravely, it also brought a powerful transaction pipeline.

When he first started, the goods poured out of his hands were cheap and high in purity, and naturally the market was smooth. At that time, many bosses saw him not pleasing to their eyes. After all, this product came to steal other people’s business, but Wan Qiang was not a vegetarian. With a group of less than 30 people under his hand, he was stunned. Bloodway, it took three years to establish a brand new underground society-Black Star.

After 20 to 30 years, Wan Qiang is already in his 50s, but he is still alive and vigorous with a strong physique. It is said that he can still sleep with his concubine for several days in a row. However, it is time for him to enjoy the blessing, and his son, Wan Gongzi and Wan Long, have completely inherited the fine traditions of his father, with unusual methods and a very agile working style. However, he did not inherit the ferocity of his father. , But this is not necessarily a bad thing. The shortcomings in this regard, Lord Wan, with his sinister heart and ruthless mind, can't fill it well.

After so many years of operation, Black Star’s main income is now not just about trafficking and drug trafficking. After all, the investigations are getting stricter and the competition is increasing, so it has begun to expand new money-making projects, such as opening bars. , Open karaoke, open seafood market, engage in freight, real estate charter, in short, they can make money, they all do, and there is... They also invest in the film business, Hongkong even has a few medium-sized entertainment companies, there are black Star shares.

Although Black Star was the latest association to be established, its current achievements and sharpness directly surpassed the other two.

As for Heliansheng, it was established relatively early, and it has a history of more than 40 years. It was formed by some members of the disbanded Sanlian Association who moved south and then formed. Due to its high reputation, it has been established since the beginning of the group. Many retail investors have responded to the call of Heliansheng. After more than 40 years of development, they are not stunned, but they are stable enough and have been on the rise. They are engaged in all aspects, mainly investing in film business and real estate. In addition, , There are also bars and so on, and as for trafficking and drug, there are black stars who have a semi-monopoly there, and there is no profit.

However... Simply speaking, Heliansheng and Black Star have one thing in common, that is, they both got involved in the film business.

It can be seen from this that if Lorraine wants his film company's works to have a good box office and sales here, it is natural to open up certain networks of underground forces.

At present, Lorraine has not had any contact with Black Star and Heliansheng. In fact, even if he did, they might not buy it. Therefore, the wisest choice is to turn to Xinji.

Speaking of it, although Xinji has the oldest qualifications, the business of making a fortune makes people feel a little bit unable to make a fortune. Xinji made a fortune by opening a grocery store. Even now, in many streets of Hongkong, you can still see groceries shops with "Sin Kee" signs.

Don't underestimate the catering industry. When the Xinji beef grocery store was the hottest year, each store was able to make millions!

But it doesn't work now, and the old brands can't make much money. The current Xinji can be said to be a business with no focus on making money. It can be seen from Dad's real estate business, Ahao selling A-chips, and sweet potato chicken coops. These three are the three well-deserved elder brother-level figures under the new name in recent years. The business under the elder brother-level figures is still like this, so what is the new record?

In fact, Shui Bo has always been thinking about finding an opportunity for Xin Ji to invest in the film business. It is not just an occasional investment in one or two films as before, but... a long-term cooperation with a certain film company, so that he can really make money. Big money.

It's a pity that the film companies on Hongkong's side, as long as they have cooperation and financing, have been taken advantage of by Black Star and Heliansheng. Blame it, but Xin Ji didn't have enough vision and didn't enter the industry in time. But there is no way to regret. Shui Bo is not a person who is good at regret. He has lived such a big life and there are too many things to regret. Thinking about this every day is useless. Therefore, he always upholds a belief, then seize the opportunity, look forward, and take the next step.

As a garlic head who has followed Shui Bo for more than ten years, he naturally knew what Shui Bo meant. Soon, he ordered the people under his hand to check the Lorraine-related investment information in Hongkong again. The results of the survey made Shui Bo happy smile.

Sure enough, as he expected, Lorraine has not yet found a Hongkong partner in film.

Not only that, but the incoming news also investigated the failure of Lorraine's previous attempt to invade the Hongkong market. It seemed that he was going to use the Chinese supreme under his hand to carry out market invasion, right? The result was a failure, or rather, because he didn't even see the city gate, he went home.

However, this Lorraine did not give up, and I don’t know how he met Jackie, the first Chinese filmmaker. In short, as a big boss of a film company, he wants to get in touch with Hongkong again. This time Most of the filming uses Hongkong actors, and many of the selected scenes were shot in Hongkong. It can be seen that his ambition to enter the hongkong market is obvious.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that this Lorraine, young, but full of energy, um, yes... yes, it's really time for him to appear..." After listening to Garlic's report, Uncle Shui kept nodding his head. Said with a smile.

Speaking to himself, Shui Bo put a cigarette on his mouth, with garlic eyes and quick hands, took out a lighter and lit it for Shui Bo.

"Garlic, you said, Lorraine... can I invite him?" After a pause, Shui Bo suddenly asked.

Garlic shook his head and said, "I don't know, but according to my analysis, he should be a very wise person. As long as he is a wise person, he should not refuse your request from Shui Bo. This is for everyone to seek wealth and development together. Thing."

Shui Bo nodded.

……　……

At the same time, in a studio in the West End.

"Cut!!"

The director shouted, and today's fourth scene ended.

"Hehe, Jackie, I admire you more and more now." Lorraine smiled and waved his hand to Jackie, who was walking towards him from under the camera. "It's just after the morning, and three scenes have been resolved. Now, it seems that the eight scenes won today should not be a problem."

Brother Jackie smiled modestly: "Brother Luo, filming is not as simple as one plus one equals two. There was no difficulty in these three scenes this morning, with few shots and easy positioning, so the shooting was faster. But the remaining few games will not be so easy."

Lorraine smiled, was about to speak, but didn't want the phone in his pocket to ring suddenly.

"Sorry, answer the phone."

While speaking, Lorraine smiled and walked to the side, took out the phone and looked at the number, frowned.

It's an unfamiliar number, and, looking at the number and area code, it seems to be the phone number from Hongkong?

who is it?

Could it be that Meiyuan called me on whose phone?

Lorraine doesn't have any friends in Hongkong. The only friends are filming with him.

After hesitating, Lorraine connected the phone in his hand.

"Hello, hello, is it Mr. Luo?" A somewhat old but majestic voice came over the phone.

Ok? This voice is familiar? Where seems to have heard it?

Lorraine frowned slightly, and said to the phone: "Hello, may I ask you who?"

"You can call me Shuibo." There was a pause on the phone, and he said straightforwardly, "I want to speak to Mr. Luo on behalf of Xinji about... the development of your film. Of course, I mean Hongkong. If you look at your face, I’ll be waiting for you at the Shangdao Café in the western part of Victoria Harbour."

"..."

There was a long silence, and Lorraine did not make any rebuttal. He raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, suppressing the doubts and expectations in his heart, and even agreed in one breath: "Okay, I will go as soon as possible."

ps: It's the weekend, convention, ask for tickets! !
