The greatest tragedy in life is to take other people's jokes seriously. According to Uncle Zeng's many years of business experience, it is absolutely impossible for a capital of three billion US dollars to obtain 50% of the income in Xiangjiang in just half a year. So he agreed to Liu Shuangxi's bet without hesitation.
Don¡¯t say he doesn¡¯t believe it, Li Chaoren is also skeptical, but Liu Shuangxi¡¯s proposal to build a hydropower station on the main stream of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is somewhat tempting. You must know that this idea was already mentioned by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in "The Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" as early as 1919. The book believed that the section of the Yangtze River that "starts from Yichang and enters the gorge" "should be dammed with sluices. It allows the boat to travel upstream, and it can also benefit from its water conservancy." The well-known water conservancy expert John Lucian Sovage came to China for inspection and also believed that the Three Gorges Project was feasible. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the implementation of the project was postponed due to various factors such as national, technical, and domestic and international conditions, and the Gezhouba Hydropower Station was first established as an experimental project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station.
Originally, I was just entertaining the juniors, learning about investment intentions, and casually mentioned that I was going to get involved in the power industry, but I was actually persuaded by this little guy to invest in such a big project. Li Chaoren couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could such a big project be decided in just a few words?
Liu Shuangxi also understands this truth. In fact, since the 1980s, with the continuation of reform and opening up, the domestic debate on the Three Gorges Project has been quite extensive, covering politics, economy, immigration, environment, cultural relics, tourism and other aspects. What he proposed to Li Chaoren now was just an introduction. If this project could be built a few years earlier, it would be of great significance in terms of solving the domestic electricity shortage and saving immigration funds (Note 1).
This meeting at Li's house was by no means a feast for the host and guest. Zeng Xiaoxian at least saw that his third uncle was not very happy. On the way to send them back to the hotel, he could only say politely: "Double celebration, my third uncle That man has a bad temper, so please bear with him." Then he said to himself, "Maybe the capital injection he promised me before for the film company will no longer be possible."
Seeing his depressed expression, Liu Shuangxi comforted him: "Uncle Zeng, don't worry about the film company. I just said I wouldn't join in the fun, and I don't want your family to invest any more money in it. And I really can't see it." It¡¯s such a small market in Xiangjiang. If your third uncle doesn¡¯t come to help, I will still support your development in this industry.¡±
In fact, Zeng Xiaoxian is quite sentimental about his company. After all, this is his first business after arriving in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, he has lived in the mainland since he was a child. The knowledge and information he has acquired are completely different from the capitalist world in Hong Kong. There are two directions. As the boss of a company, I cannot guide the direction of the company. It is considered good to be able to maintain the current state.
Out of concern for his company, Zeng Xiaoxian asked eagerly: "Shuangxi, what are you doing? You say you don't like the film market in Hong Kong, and you support my development in this industry. What are you talking about?" Is this company worth continuing?¡±
Liu Shuangxi smiled and said: "Uncle Zeng, don't worry. The film industry is called a smoke-free industry, and the huge value it generates cannot be ignored. However, in a small place like Xiangjiang, there is the old Shao Style, the backbone Di Jiahe, Debao, and Xinyi City Four Kingdoms Melee, which was established last year. Under such fierce competition, the highest box office last year was only more than 20 million" Before he could finish his words, he got a violent shudder.
"You brat, I didn't have the nerve to say anything to you when I was at Uncle Li's house just now. You are learning something bad every day. You are betting and bragging. If you have the ability, go make a movie with a box office of 20 million."
Zhu Wenhua was also unhappy today. He thought that by going to Li's house for an appointment today, he could learn something about business issues. But in fact, they entertained her purely for the sake of her elders, and by the way, she wanted to know about the movement of the funds in her son's hands. For her, a newly-minted business woman, she didn't say anything more useful.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of trivial matters like the film company and the beverage factory, if not for Zeng Xiaoxian's elders, Zhu Wenhua would have asked why my beverage factory is such a trivial matter. Seeing her son's wretched appearance finally made her explode.
After she finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoxian also said: "Shuangxi, movies are not that easy to make. Take "The Best Partner" as an example. Whether we can get a good script is a big problem. There are also things like It¡¯s not easy to hire a superstar like Xu Guanjie in the film and music industry, because the performance fee alone is more than two million."
Liu Shuangxi said to Zhu Wenhua dissatisfied: "Mom, please don't knock me on the head. What should I do if such a smart son of yours is knocked stupid? And Uncle Zeng, I dare not say that there are more than three thousand people in Xiangjiang." It¡¯s really not difficult for me to have a movie with a box office of 10,000,000. If you want to think that there are no good dramas??, I'll get it for you. Don't look like you don't believe it. You can ask my parents. The most popular skit in this year's Spring Festival Gala is the script I wrote. "
The skit "Selling Kidnappers" was immediately spread throughout China through the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. After arriving in Xiangjiang, Liu Shuangxi also heard someone mention the classic lines in it, so he took it here as an example of his own success. .
"You mean you wrote that sketch?" Seeing Liu Guoqing and Zhu Wenhua nodding, Zeng Xiaoxian almost jumped up in the car, "Shuangxi, if you have the ability, tell me as soon as possible and help me think of a good script. Making a good film is no longer a matter of a day or two.¡±
"Uncle Zeng, you can't come up with a good script right away. You have to give me some time." Liu Shuangxi pretended to be embarrassed and said. In fact, when Zeng Xiaoxian mentioned his company, he began to think about what kind of movie to make, and I have already thought about what the most suitable film is.
"Haha, I'm worried. If you think about it slowly, you'll definitely come up with something better. Let's also make a classic blockbuster." Zeng Xiaoxian was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands. How has his life been since he came to Xiangjiang in the past few years? Although it was good, it was far from as exciting as the past few days. First, there was the excitement of meeting old friends again, and then there was the opportunity for the company that I had worked so hard to run to take off.
While he was happy, he suddenly thought of the bet he had just made at the Li family, so he quickly said: "Shuangxi, what you just said to my third uncle was just a joke. I don't think this money is so easy to make, otherwise I will tell you Just say it, don¡¯t let them take it to heart.¡±
"Uncle Zeng, that's not a joke. Even if you say it, you have to tell people not to take my bet seriously." Liu Shuangxi had already dug a hole, how could Zeng Xiaoxian bury it? If it hadn't just been Uncle Zeng, he hasn¡¯t thought that he can make a lot of money in Xiangjiang this year.
Note 1: Resettlement is the biggest difficulty of the Three Gorges Project. Of the total investment of nearly 100 billion in the project, funds for resettlement account for 45%. When the Three Gorges impoundment is completed, 129 towns, two medium-sized cities and more than a dozen small cities will be submerged, and 1.13 million immigrants will be generated, which is unique in the history of world engineering. The establishment of Chongqing Municipality is directly related to the Three Gorges. By the way, let me tell you about the plot. The protagonist is now proposing the Three Gorges Project, which has a major impact on his future entry into officialdom.
