    "Fifty thousand dollars? Although he is an Asian actor, I have to admit, Li, you have taken a big advantage. You were able to hire such a good actor for half a million dollars. Now I finally know you."  Why are Asian actors used? The conditions are too easy to meet. "John was really shocked.  ¡°It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t know that Hong Kong film actors¡¯ salaries were low, but he didn¡¯t know that it would be so low and not at the same level as Hollywood.  Moreover, apart from their skin color, these actors are not bad at acting.  Li Mingbao made the right choice by inviting these actors to film.  But when Li Mingbao heard what John said, he was so frightened that he peed.  Because he didn't expect that John actually heard his words wrong.  Of course, this is not wrong, because when Li Mingbao said five hundred thousand before, he did not add the word currency after it, so John took it for granted that it was US dollars, which was not wrong. ????????????????????????? Who will give US dollars to film a movie in Hong Kong?  Even he, Li Mingbao, would not give us dollars.  Li Mingbao must let him solve this beautiful misunderstanding.  Because at this time Li Mingbao suddenly had a new idea, maybe he could have a good talk with John.  So Li Mingbao pretended to smile bitterly and said: "John, it seems I didn't make it clear before. You also know that my movie was shot in Hong Kong. The currency used in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollars, so the actor's salary is usually  They are all paid in Hong Kong dollars. And the five hundred thousand I said are Hong Kong dollars, not US dollars. "Compared with Li Mingbao's familiarity with the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars, John obviously can't understand these things.  After all, Hong Kong is indeed quite far away from John.  In addition, when John faced Li Mingbao, he usually had an absolute advantage.  Therefore, John's understanding of Hong Kong, where Li Mingbao is located, is very limited.  Except for Hong Kong movies, John really doesn't understand the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar. But judging from Li Mingbao's appearance, the value of the Hong Kong dollar will definitely not be as great as that of the US dollar. As the two superpowers, the value of the US dollar is not as high as that of the US dollar.  When it's strong.  There are not many currencies in the world that are stronger than the US dollar.  So John immediately understood that there was definitely a lot in it.  If it were a different time, John would definitely find someone to find out, but now he has Li Mingbao, a Hong Kong passer, so John doesn't have to go to so much trouble and directly asks: "So what is the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars?"  "The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar is fluctuating very much now. As you know, John Bull is now at war with Argentina. Although this has nothing to do with Hong Kong, after all, Hong Kong is still a concession of John Bull, so the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar will follow  It fluctuated due to the influence of John Bull, especially when Feiyu first appeared. The Hong Kong dollar was almost ruined at that time. Fortunately, it stabilized later, but not much. The exchange rate has fluctuated greatly until now, but it is much better after all.  . Roughly speaking, the current exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is about eight to one, but it will only be more, not less," Li Mingbao said pretending to be helpless.  Li Mingbao¡¯s helplessness can be considered half as an act.  But half of it can be considered true. He is really helpless.  Li Mingbao knew about the Falklands naval battle, and could even predict the developments every day.  If Li Mingbao had enough funds in his hands due to the Falklands War, then Li Mingbao could make a lot of money just by speculating in foreign exchange.  But it¡¯s a pity that Li Mingbao really didn¡¯t have much money at that time. Although the movie ¡°Home Alone¡± made Li Mingbao a lot of money, Li Mingbao¡¯s money had not yet arrived at that time, and it was only now that he got it.  Therefore, Li Mingbao cannot control this money.  In addition to this money, Li Mingbao spent a lot of the 100 million Hong Kong dollars on filming in the United States, and left some start-up capital later.  Coupled with some expenses in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao actually doesn't have much living money in his hands.  So although Li Mingbao had money at that time, the money was not under his control.  Li Mingbao could first come to the United States to withdraw the money and then speculate, but after thinking about it later, Li Mingbao decided not to do it because the amount of money was too large.  You must know that although Hong Kong is developed in these years, it has not yet become a financial port. Although the Hong Kong government has such an idea, it has not been completed after all, or it has just started to start.  As a result, Hong Kong¡¯s financial aggregate is actually not very large.  ¡°A few hundred million dollars is considered a significant amount of money on Wall Street in the United States, let alone in Hong Kong.  Perhaps the financial sector will detect it as soon as the funds are launched.  If Li Mingbao's money is just to enter Hong Kong smoothly, then no problem, the Hong Kong government will definitely welcome it.  No place would refuse hundreds of millions of dollars, but if Li Mingbao gets the money back at that time, he will definitely not want to deposit it in the bank, but will take other actions.  The Hong Kong government welcomes the U.S. dollar, but it will never welcome it to cause trouble.?USD.  "Now Li Mingbao's arms and legs are still a little thin. Compared with the Hong Kong government, the gap between them is completely unimaginable.  What's more, the situation in the Hong Kong government is more complicated than elsewhere. There are not only the forces of John Bull, but also the forces of the mainland.  ¡° If Li Mingbao wants to make money through finance, he will not only offend John Bull, but also the Military Rabbit.  For the sake of an income that is no more than the principal, he offended these two rogue countries. As long as Li Mingbao is not stupid, he knows how to choose.  So Li Mingbao just thought about it and put it down.  The opportunities to make money may not be many for others, but for Li Mingbao, they are not too few. Any investment will be more promising than this one, and it will be pollution-free and pollution-free. Why block all the roads for money?  Death, it simply means that if you don't seek death, you won't die. Li Mingbao still wants to have a bright future, so why would he put himself in it for a small profit?  "You can't make money. This is where Li Mingbao is helpless. Now that John happened to ask about this topic, how could Li Mingbao vent inappropriately?"  Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John was really surprised: "You mean, for such an excellent actor, his salary is less than 70,000 US dollars in US dollars? Are you kidding? Even Asian actors, in Hollywood,  The salary will not be so low. " "That's the fact, and I added the price. The actor's previous salary was actually only 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 40,000 US dollars.  Actors, the salary is even lower, a good actor, their current salary may not be 100 yuan," Li Mingbao said.  "Is this impossible? This is definitely a joke. How can an actor's salary be so low? One hundred yuan? How much is that?" John was completely stunned.  "I don't know much about this, but I know that the value of the RMB in mainland China is a bit exaggerated, and its purchasing power is not that strong. I have previously obtained the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar, which is about 1.8 to one. Of course,  This is the official exchange rate, and even if the exchange rate on the black market is twenty to one, many people need to exchange it," Li Mingbao complained.  Li Mingbao¡¯s words are definitely not lies. Li Mingbao had learned about the RMB exchange rate before, so he said this.  You must know that Li Mingbao was shocked when he got such exchange rate information.  When did the RMB¡¯s combat effectiveness become so powerful?  But after checking the information later, I realized how this exchange rate came about. To put it bluntly, the big guys felt that the military and industrial rabbits were also big countries, and the exchange rate was too low to save their face. Although the RMB was not of such high value,  We must grit our teeth and persevere.  With the information, Li Mingbao also understood why before the 1980s, the mainland's exports were only the most rudimentary minerals and some national cultural products. As for industrial products, no one wanted them, half sold and half given away.  The workmanship is no better than others, or even worse, but the price is so high that even a fool would not buy such a product.  Fortunately, the military industry rabbits later felt that this was not the solution, so they came up with a dual-track price and export subsidies.  Make the product price look as cheap as possible without changing the currency value.  Anyway, for the military industry rabbit, the RMB is printed by oneself, and foreign exchange is the thing that can really buy things.  Of course, what Li Mingbao needs to consider now is not the internal problems of Military Rabbit, but the need to let John understand the truth. For Hollywood, the price of Asian actors is basically equivalent to losing their jobs.  Of course, this is for the actors, and for the boss, if the actor's salary can be reduced to that level, it is equivalent to extra income, and this is what Li Mingbao wants to discuss with John.  At this time, John was completely driven crazy by the cabbage price quoted by Li Mingbao. He completely forgot that he should discuss the release of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" with Li Mingbao now, because he was currently thinking about it.  An actor who is as cheap as Chinese cabbage.  If such an actor replaces the actor you have, what kind of benefits will it bring to you?  As long as he heard the price quoted by Li Mingbao, John couldn't help but feel excited.  He had been so kind to Li Mingbao before, and he never expected such an unexpected gain. For Li Mingbao, he just felt that having an influential film industry boss in East Asia might be of great benefit to their company's future business expansion.  ??Li Mingbao is different from other Hong Kong people he has met, so when John thought that such a layout might be fruitful, he treated it as a casual chess game anyway. In addition, Li Mingbao is indeed talented, and he may not know when he will be able to use it.  But John never expected that this chess piece would be useful so quickly, and he had to express his praise for the decision he made before.  Oh my God, no??Two hundred dollars for an actor, even extras in the United States are not that low, but now Li Mingbao actually says that this is the treatment for regular actors there. This kind of thing is really unbelievable.
