1979 Golden Age

Hong Kong’s midsummer is not over yet.

In the afternoon, the sun outside was still glaring, and Chen Qi woke up from his sleep. Every time he returned to Hong Kong, he always had to sleep soundly, as if he was jet-lagged, and he didn't know why.

He opened his eyes, reached out his hand in a daze, and touched something furry, which immediately startled him.

"What is that?"

"Meow!"

"Oh, it's a cat! I thought it was Ah Hong, Ah Zhen, Ah Feng, Ah Min, Ah Xin, and Ah Xian!"

Chen Qi propped himself up and looked into the eyes of a Burmese cat with two big eyes. The cat was very young and strong, and its paws looked like they were wearing four white gloves. It meowed at him.

"What happened to this cat?"

Chen Qi scratched his hair. Oh, right! Gu Weili brought this to me when I came back yesterday. She said she bought two and gave one to me so I wouldn't feel lonely.

"Alas, I have been reduced to raising cats."

"Are there children raising cat men?"

He rubbed the cat's head, got out of bed to feed it, sat on a chair and stared at it, saying, "Gu Weili always causes trouble for me, and I still have to serve you? But I can take it to the company, and I can hold a cat and cosplay as the Godfather when I talk about things in the future, that's fine!"

The moment has emotional value.

He also made himself some fried rice and ate while reading the newspaper. There was no big news, just one was about the Miss Asia finals today, and the other was about Queen Elizabeth's visit to Hong Kong in October.

“Boom boom boom!”

"Boss, are you awake?"

"Open the door yourself!"

Gu Weili opened the door with the key and came in. Seeing the man and the cat eating, she said with satisfaction, "Ah! What a beautiful scene! Boss, you are really a caring person who loves small animals!"

"Speak human language!"

"We have to hurry, we still have to go to ATV."

"Well, how is the preparation for this session going?"

"It's much more mature than last year, and they're willing to spend money. The stage and costumes have been upgraded to a higher level. Also, you asked me to pay attention to Li Lianjie, hehehe..." Gu Weili couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Don't smile like that!"

"That boy must have fallen for Lizhi, the girl from Shanghai. He keeps trying to get close to her whenever he wants."

"What's the other party's attitude?"

"I think there's give and take, at least I don't mind it, and maybe it's a bit interesting?" Gu Weili said.

"Time will tell, just wait and see."

…………

In the evening, ATV headquarters.

The second Miss Asia finals was held grandly.

As usual, a group of left-wing celebrities attended the event, and the star-studded event was dazzling. Chen Qi sat in the VIP seat, still next to Qiu Degen, while the other side was occupied by Qiu Shuzhen.

Qiu Degen was very interested in talking and said, "Your plan to bring Hong Kong films to Guangdong is a stroke of genius. It can basically replace the Taiwan market. It's a pity that Run Run Shaw and I don't see eye to eye, otherwise I would have invested in a film and television city as well."

"You can invest in ancillary facilities. I am planning to build a hotel."

"Let's discuss this later! Last year we set up a Shanghai-Hong Kong Economic Development Association, all of whom are entrepreneurs from Shanghai, so I naturally want to do my part. I want to do the tourism industry in Shanghai."

"Then build a tourist city, just like Songcheng in Hong Kong."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Qiu Degen smiled and nodded. He was very interested in this thing and talked a lot about it.

Chen Qi cooperated very well in the conversation, but he knew in his heart that the other party failed to fulfill this wish. In 1988, Far Eastern Bank was suspected of financial fraud. Qiu Degen sold his shares in Asia Television, and then he fell ill and retired from the political arena.

Lam Pak-yan and Cheng Yu-tung jointly invested approximately HK$600 million to acquire 50% of ATV's shares, which means that ATV's overall valuation was HK$1.2 billion.

Chen Qi wanted ATV, but faced three problems: first, the British Hong Kong government would not agree to Chinese capital acquiring ATV; second, the central government would not agree to Oriental Company owning ATV alone; third, there was not enough financial resources and they had to earn more.

There are only two TV stations in Hong Kong, and he occupies one?

Wow, that would really make him the Protector General of Hong Kong.

“It’s started! It’s started!”

Qiu Shuzhen called out softly, and Chen Qi and Qiu Degen ended their conversation and focused their eyes on the stage.

This year, ATV spent a lot of money, and the stage design and costumes were significantly improved. The opening was still the same, with the contestants appearing one by one, each walking to the front of the stage to introduce themselves. Zhang Min came out stupidly, and her speech was not up to standard.

But she is young, beautiful, has a good figure and fair skin.

"Don't expect her to have any development, just be a good vase."

Chen Qi shook his head.

When Li Zhi's turn came, the audience was a little excited. She really stood out among the contestants of this year. When Chen Qi first saw her, her appearance was a matter of opinion. Her cheekbones were too high, and her facial features gathered in the middle, making her face look big.

Super great figure.

Chen Qi looked at her, then at Li Lianjie, like a civet eating melons.

Whenever Lizhi came out, Li Lianjie was very excited.

There was a segment where he performed on stage and taught a few people how to do boxing. Li Zhi happened to be there, and he was visibly letting them win, and only showed them a few simple moves.

"Alas, there is always something better!"

"Li Lianjie waited for 10 years and paid off his debts before agreeing to get married. He was very controlling."

Chen Qi felt very anxious, but he couldn't tell anyone these words.

After a series of competitions, it was no surprise that Li Lianjie, as a special guest, announced with Li Zhuanglie: "The winner of the second Miss Asia Championship is Li Zhi!"

“Huahuahua!”

Amidst the applause, Li Zhi came over excitedly, was given a scepter, and was crowned. The runner-up was Huang Liying, and the third place was Wu Ning, both of them were average and had not made it to the top.

………………

There will be a dinner after the finals.

Chen Qi was too lazy to participate and just ran away.

He knew that Li Zhi might have an impact on Li Lianjie, but he didn't expect the impact to happen so quickly. Just the next day, Li Lianjie ran to his office and said in a very complicated and twisted manner:

"Brother Qi! Can you, can you let me go out and take a role?"

"Um?"

"Look, Jiahui, Huazai, and Ah Hong are all out filming. I want to go out and film too."

"Is there any company looking for you?"

"Yes! Master Yuan (Yuen Woo-ping) approached me, and so did Sammo Hung."

Li Lianjie looked at Chen Qi anxiously, but Chen Qi thought for a moment and said, "Sure! But we will go to the United States to promote it soon, and after we come back, we will study this matter in detail."

"Thank you, Brother Qi! Thank you, Brother Qi!"

Li Lianjie was very surprised and ran out happily.

Chen Qi was petting the cat and drinking Coke, and he was like the Godfather + the President. He sighed, "Look, the first factor in chasing a woman is money!"

(No more...

Nezha has surpassed 10 billion. It is foreseeable that Jiaozi will meet a lot of good big brothers in future entertainment articles 2333)
