Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 38
November 28, 1982.
Now it is impossible to suppress this matter even if the Governor of Xiangjiang comes forward, and public opinion continues to ferment.
Xiangjiang’s box office record holder for three consecutive years, the popular movie star Luo Junyan fell to the ground and convulsed in batches of real-life photos, no more corroboration is needed.
All newspapers in Hong Kong put a series of photos of Luo Junyan and Maggie Cheung after they left Tianyuan Building on the front page. Although the shooting angles and the positions of the characters vary greatly, the content of the report is unanimous, fully retelling every word that Luo Junyan and Maggie Cheung said at the time.
The media even traced Ma Weiming’s nickname Aniu when he was a child, and now almost no one knows this nickname. In addition, how many outside rooms does Ma Weiming have? The media also conducted an in-depth investigation, and it turned out that it was 4 women, and one of them was a veteran actress.
Originally the relationship between the two was extremely secretive, and it was impossible to investigate it in the short term. It was after the meatball actress read the report that she noticed all sorts of weirdness in her home and ran to the police station crying for help. This broke the news.
This can be regarded as real, and the media does not even need to over-interpret it. All the people in Xiangjiang consciously avoided Ma Weiming. His driver, bodyguard, secretary, and assistant all resigned and left, and could not wait for compensation.
This year, the stock market and land prices have plummeted one after another. In recent years, Tianyuan Industrial has hoarded land at high prices and borrowed huge amounts of funds from banks, which in itself is already a tightening of the capital chain.
For now, Ma Weiming has nowhere to realise land and property assets, and no boss has agreed to meet him. The innocent person killed by the fox in Windsor Building last year can still be vividly remembered. The one who just happened to go to the Windsor Building to host a full moon banquet for the children. If there is a deal with Ma Weiming this time, it will be more direct and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Ma Weiming loves to die, but the leasing owner of Tianyuan Building does not want to die. No one wants to relocate and compensate. In less than two days, Tianyuan Building has become an empty building, and even the security guards looking at the gate can’t be hired.
Tianyuan Building can be said to be a benchmark-type core industry in the commercial real estate layout of Tianyuan Industrial.
Although its floors are not high, the interior and exterior design concepts during the renovation are one step ahead. The exterior facade of the glass curtain wall is unique in the Tsim Sha Tsui business district. Moreover, the building is located in an absolute prime location. Standing on the top floor, you can overlook the Victoria Harbour. The planned Hung Hom Stadium is expected to be completed.
For Tianyuan Building, Ma Weiming had bet a lot of money, but now he wants to sell at a discount, no one glances at it.
The crisis broke out suddenly and violently, and the Ma family fell apart immediately.
Ma Weiming’s half-brothers and sisters no longer need to wear masks to pretend this time. Although they don’t have a lot of shares in Tianyuan Industrial, it does not prevent them from playing the card of revealing the inside story in the media, pretending to be rich and sad, and digging your lifeline from the root.
Suddenly, the Ma family changed people on the front page every day, and all kinds of revelations about Ma Weiming’s struggle for inheritance and the scandals of his private life. In addition to the hot potato on the smelly street of Tianyuan Building, other assets of Tianyuan Industrial are in a terrible battle.
Ma Weiming has become a frequent visitor to the hospital. According to the statistics of medical staff, the interval between each time he is sent to the hospital will not exceed 3 days. But Ma Weiming didn’t dare to stay for a long time every time. Maybe if he lived for ten and a half months, he would not see the Tianyuan Industrial brand after he was discharged from the hospital.
Luo Junyan was also admitted to the hospital because of excessive fright. At this moment, Maggie Cheung was sitting beside Luo Junyan’s bed.
Maggie Cheung said angrily: “A Jun, you were too much this time. That Ma Weiming was hurt by you. If I knew the consequences were so serious, I would never agree to cooperate with you in that scene.”
Luo Junyan sighed and said sincerely: “I knew this was the result, and I wouldn’t have done this. At that time, I just wanted to speak out for sister army and my old sister. I’m sorry, Mr. Ma Weiming. In the past two days, I have been condemned from the bottom of my heart. Otherwise, we will go and apologize to Mr. Ma Weiming face to face? Then we will announce the truth to the media, hoping to get the understanding of the citizens of Hong Kong.”
Maggie Cheung looked at him with a sad look, and sighed softly, and said: “A Jun, facing you now, I really have nothing to say. Fortunately, you are not sultry and won’t hit my mind. Otherwise, I must be far away from you, and I don’t know when you are acting and when you are the real you.”
Luo Junyan looked at the ceiling and said, “Actually, my abilities still need to be improved. The ghost exorcist that I invited over the past two days is more natural and smoother than me. If it hadn’t been for his performance yesterday, the result was When the ankles arrived, I almost thought that he was really a celestial master.”
With a puff, Maggie Cheung couldn’t help but laughed, raised his fist and punched Luo Junyan’s shoulder.
At this time, Lomizi came in with a thermos and said, “Hey, you are really not afraid of being misunderstood by others? You are all such big people, and every time you make a fuss.”
Maggie Zhang got up and smiled and greeted: “Sister Zi, what good food will you bring this time?”
Luo Meizi said: “Gam Chicken Soup, nourishes the blood. GG, go and flush the bowl, come over and drink together.”
After Zhang Manyu walked out with the bowl and spoon, Luo Meizi said: “Shaw’s box office share has been paid, I will check the account with the accountant for you, and the other party did not raise any questions. This time you personally received 13.51 million. The special account used to be 14.055 million. After deducting the total cost of 1.55 million, there is 12.505 million left. The total amount of funds in the special account is 26.015 million Hong Kong dollars. I am very curious, how did you make so much money?”
Luo Junyan smirked and said: “Sister, Shaw Brothers has no objection to the termination of the gambling agreement, right?”
Luo Meizi said: “The other party has raised a question. Although according to the original gambling agreement, as long as the terms are reached, the December 1 agreement will be completely terminated. However, after the painting of “My Barbaric Girl” in Xiangjiang, there will be enough time. You can sell the distribution rights to other cities, but you are not actively operating. This behavior is suspected of deliberately encroaching on the interests of investors.”
Luo Junyan said: “I was busy with other things, I didn’t spare time.”
Luo Meizi stared into his eyes, and asked, “Did you make the haunting thing in Tianyuan Mansion behind you?”
Luo Junyan didn’t avoid her gaze, and said, “Sister, I said, whoever bullies you, I must make him die. Although it was Sister Army who was insulting at the time, you were there, and that **** had nothing to do with you. Respect.”
Luo Meizi asked sharply: “Then you are behind the plot to make the family bankrupt? Why do you become so hostile now?”
Luo Junyan said: “This is the reality? Isn’t I polite and reciprocal, and those who look down on me will look at me high and like me? No. People will always treat you as if you can’t be on the stage, forever When you are a hillbilly with no taste and ambition.”
Luo Meizi was so angry that he stretched out her hand to give him a slap. Luo Junyan pressed her face up and waited for her to come and fight.
Maggie Cheung just returned to the ward, stunned on the spot, and said: “Or I will go wash it again?”
Luo Meizi stood up and said, “GG, you can help him with the soup, I’m leaving now.”
Zhang Manyu nodded and watched Luo Meizi walk away quickly, then turned to ask: “Ajun, why is sister Zi so angry?”
Luo Junyan lay down on the hospital bed and said to herself: “My master is right. Why are the poor always being bullied? That’s too much of oneself, so how can those who can’t bear their face fight shamelessly? “
Luo Junyan recovered and was discharged after a week of treatment by the exorcist master hired heavily.
He then actively worked on the issue of “My Savage Girl” in other cities.
In order to get Shaw’s agreement to terminate the gambling agreement as soon as possible, the screening rights in Southeast Asia were sold to Shaw at a low price of 4 million Hong Kong dollars. The Taiwan market can only give up. Yang Dengkui is convinced that the film will not pass the censorship of the Taiwan authorities, because “My Savage Girlfriend” is considered by the official powerful people to be offensive. The distribution rights of Japan and South Korea were still sold to Takeshita Films in Japan, and the buyout price was also HK$4 million. Shaw did not need to pay extra cash.
Until December 15, after more than two years, the gambling agreement was completely settled. Luo Junyan transferred all the 30.015 million Hong Kong dollars in the special account to his newly established account at HSBC.
As New Year’s Day approached, Luo Junyan was about to buy a house.
With the increasing undercurrent of the Hong Kong immigration wave, the stock market began to decline faster, and the prices of land and properties plummeted. He began to hesitate again, after all, this was his hard-earned money.
In Cheng’s office, Cheng looked at Luo Junyan with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and said, “Ajun, why don’t you get in? What a good bargaining opportunity, you hold that What’s the use of deposits? It can only depreciate more and more.”
Luo Junyan held a cigar and said, “But many people in the circle have lost their money. Those who borrowed from the bank, and now they want to sell it at a low price, no one takes it. They just want to cry without tears. Master, and Is there no safer way to invest?”
Brother Cheng weakly sat on the chair and said, “Speculation will not make a profit without losing money, but you are investing and looking at long-term profits. I won’t talk nonsense with you, so you should hurry up to inspect the house. Find a prosperous commercial area and don’t try to run to the countryside for cheap. Even if you are not in a hurry, you have to set my goal first.”
Luo Junyan nodded and asked, “Master, haven’t the office buildings in the Snowman Age been completed yet? I heard from my old sister that the Snowman Age had a net profit of more than 26 million last year, so why did Sister Army have to borrow from the bank? “
Brother Cheng drank a sip of tea and said, “Look at other people’s army. The courageous are starved to death. The company can use only 40 million cash flow. Why don’t you take a loan to buy office buildings in the wilderness of the New Territories? However, bank loans have been tightened recently. Asset-light companies like ours, which have been established for less than two years, really can’t lend much money. Isn’t that stuck here.”
Luo Junyan nodded, and then asked: “Isn’t Sister Army rich herself?”
Brother Cheng said: “The army’s loss in the stock market this time is not small. Fortunately, she has decisively cleared the position without losing a bottom. Now she has less than 20 million in her own hands.”
Luo Junyan asked curiously: “That adds up to more than 60 million. Master, how much money do you and Sister Army plan to spend on the property?”
Brother Cheng sighed and said, “I have to bow my head to reality. This time I plan to spend about 150 million yuan. The amount is too small to be embarrassed to mention.”
Luo Junyan took a deep breath and said, “Master, the city roads in Xiangjiang will definitely be bad this year, and the Snowman era will also be affected. Will you still be able to get it then?”
Brother Cheng said: “The turnover and net profit of Snowman Era in 1983 will definitely decline. We are psychologically prepared for this. Therefore, the loan cycle required from the bank should be longer. The longer the better, the interest rate can be higher. Anyway, slow. Slow still. Ajun, let me tell you, those who can borrow or not are fools now, and now they are loaning money, and what they are going to pay back is paper.”
After Luo Junyan heard it, if he thought about it, this first pot of gold could be used well.
