Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 263 Wang Sian and Li Changxi
Originally, Hu Jiangshan wanted to go to Tenglong Island today to see how the dock improvement project was progressing.

However, after receiving this call from Wang Qiumin, Hu Jiangshan changed his mind.

Forget it. Why bother going back and forth? I have to meet Wang Qiu Ming tomorrow.

Although it normally only takes more than 20 minutes to go to Tenglong Island one way, it is a sea voyage. If you include the time of driving to the yacht club pier, the one-way trip will be 40 to 50 minutes, and the round-trip commuting time is one and a half hours.

To be honest, the commuting cost is still quite high. Unless Hu Jiangshan does not come back that day and spends the night in the villa, it would be too tiring.

Hu Jiangshan decided not to go to the island. The pier would not be built in the next two days anyway, so there was no point in going over to take a look.

Moreover, the Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center has very strong capabilities. Since it has been planned, there will generally be no mistakes and there is no need for Hu Jiangshan's supervision.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt relaxed. He took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and drank it while thinking about what had happened recently and what he would discuss with Wang Qiumin tomorrow.

In fact, I had already discussed everything with Wang Qiumin and even signed a contract.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan and Wang Qiumin are both passionate people, so the details reflected in the contract are not that detailed. In fact, there is no need to be too detailed. It is best to discuss such things verbally.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan was not sure whether this cooperation with Wang Qiumin was a good thing or a bad thing. It seemed not as simple as he had thought before.

Because Hu Jiangshan may have overlooked one thing now. If the TV series filmed by Wang Qiumin really becomes popular, will Hu Jiangshan’s island also become popular?
After all, many netizens are curious people who like to dig out the information behind these popular TV series and reality shows when they have nothing to do.

For example, where was it filmed? Where was it shot? Where is this island? What kind of island is it?

Especially now that General Island is so beautiful, it will arouse the enthusiasm of netizens even more.

These netizens are also travel companions, so there is no guarantee that they will not be interested in the scenic spots and come to travel.

But then again, Hu Jiangshan had never heard in his previous life that Chen Yifei had starred in a film or TV series shot in Hong Kong Island.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan was already a scientific researcher at that time, and was busy with experiments every day, so it was normal even if he had never seen it.

But at least it shows that this film or TV series was not a big hit. If it was really a big hit, Hu Jiangshan would definitely see relevant news when he was surfing the Internet.

Another possibility is that this film or TV series was completed but not released and has been shelved.

But this possibility is relatively small. Chen Yifei is very famous for her selection of scripts, and she is unlikely to have chosen a script that is never released.

The question is, just because Chen Yifei's film and television drama was not popular in Hu Jiangshan's previous life, it doesn't mean it won't be popular in this life.

In fact, many things have changed in this life, and this film or TV series may be part of the changes.

So Hu Jiangshan felt it necessary to have a talk with Wang Qiumin and ask him to keep the secret as much as possible and not reveal the General Island.

Although there is no impenetrable wall, this secret may not be kept and will be known to others sooner or later.

But the later it is spread, the more time it can buy for people to know.

Hu Jiangshan already has an idea that in the future facilities such as semiconductor production lines may be made more secretive, but it does take some time to prepare.

The next day, Hong Kong Island, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Sang Tea House.

This teahouse is an old brand in Causeway Bay. It is said to have been here for hundreds of years and is now run by the third generation.

The popularity of Hong Kong Kuang Tea House is still very hot. Generally speaking, if you don’t make a reservation in advance, you can’t get in on the day.

Another feature of this teahouse is that it has no private rooms and almost all seats are in the main hall.

It is said that this is the restaurant that retains the original style of Hong Sheng Tea House, which eliminates barriers between people and allows people at adjacent tables to communicate very conveniently, in a very down-to-earth and welcoming manner.

In fact, it is true. The atmosphere in this teahouse is very good. Although it is a bit noisy, there is often laughter.

Not only do locals like to come to this teahouse to drink tea, but many tourists also like to come here just to experience the friendly atmosphere.

Of course, whether the private rooms were cancelled because of smooth communication is a matter of opinion.

In fact, the first owner of the teahouse just wanted to save money. Now that the name has been established, there is no need to change it.

But having said that, the location of this teahouse is really good, especially the side of the third floor close to the street, which has a very good view and can just see Causeway Bay and the busy port.

Although the scenery here cannot compare with Victoria Harbour, it is valuable because of the atmosphere of life and the strong smell of fireworks.

Looking at those busy boatmen and one fishing boat after another, one feels as if traveling through time and space and returning to Hong Kong Island decades ago.

At this time, Wang Qiumin was sitting at a table on the third floor of the teahouse. He ordered a pot of tea and drank it while looking at the scenery of Causeway Bay.

As a film and television director who is very sensitive to images and landscapes, he feels that this place is really wonderful. Although the tea here is good, the scenery fascinated him and made the trip worthwhile.

Today, Wang Qiu Ming just arrived in Hong Kong Island from the mainland. He came here for an appointment, and since he had nothing to do, he came a little early and waited while drinking tea.

The person Wang Qiu Ming was waiting for was Hu Jiangshan, and he had made an appointment with him yesterday.

The entire crew arrived in Hong Kong Island in two days, and filming was about to start. Although everything had been discussed with Hu Jiangshan in general, some details still needed further communication to avoid any misunderstandings.

Of course, Wang Qiumin felt that there would be no misunderstandings with Hu Jiangshan. He felt that Hu Jiangshan was an honest man and very friendly to get along with. He was definitely not someone who would haggle over trivial matters. If there was anything, they could just communicate directly.

After a while, someone came up, but it was not Hu Jiangshan, but Wang Qiumin knew this person, and he was quite familiar with him. It was Wang Sian.

Wang Sian and Wang Qiumin both have the surname Wang, but they are not actually relatives. The reason they know each other is because their circle is relatively small.

Although Wang Sian is not an actor, nor a practitioner in the film and television industry, he is quite popular on the Internet and has the halo of being the son of the richest man, so he occasionally participates in some entertainment programs, reality show interviews and the like.

So Wang Qiu Ming and Wang Sian got to know each other. Wang Qiu Ming had invited Wang Sian to play a role in a drama before, but Wang Sian did not agree. It was not because he felt that he was not capable of doing it, but because he simply felt that acting was too tiring and not worth it. Wouldn't it be better for him to spend that time visiting a few street restaurants?

Of course, Wang Sian did not come alone, and Lin Gongxin followed closely behind.

Lin Gongxin is a real actor, so he is no stranger to Wang Qiumin. He was quite surprised and surprised to see Wang Qiumin, and went up to greet him.

"Director Wang, I didn't expect you to be in Hong Kong Island! Are you here for tourism? I'm familiar with Hong Kong Island. Can I show you around?"

Wang Qiu Ming smiled and replied, "No, no, we are here to film, we don't have time to travel."

Lin Gongxin showed a puzzled expression: "Filming? Huh? What kind of movie?"

Wang Sian showed a look of disappointment: "Lin Gou, why are you so stupid all day? You are not as well-informed as I am. You didn't even know that Director Wang was coming to Hong Kong Island to film. Didn't I tell you a few days ago that Chen Yifei was going to film here, and it was Director Wang's crew."

Lin Gongxin suddenly realized that Chen Yifei had collaborated with director Wang Qiuming. This was normal, as Wang Qiuming was now considered one of the better directors of the new generation, and his scripts were indeed very suitable for actors like Chen Yifei.

Wang Sian asked, "Director Wang, are you here alone?"

Wang Qiuming quickly said, "Ah, I have an appointment to discuss something."

Wang Sian is a man of good vision. When he heard this, he quickly said, "Then let's sit next to each other. We can talk again if we have time later."

Wang Qiu Ming nodded, chatted with the two of them for a few words, and then sat back down.

Wang Sian and Lin Gongxin sat in a seat not far away, ordered some tea, nodded, and chatted while eating.

Wang Sian and Lin Gongxin actually also made appointments with people, but they haven't come yet.

In a few minutes, the person arrived.

This person is very powerful and is considered a prominent figure in Hong Kong Island. He is none other than Li Changxi, the son of the Li family.

Li Changxi had heard that Wang Sian had come to Hong Kong Island a long time ago, so he made several appointments with him, intending to sit down with him, chat and have a heart-to-heart talk. However, Wang Sian was a more playful guy and did not want to do too many social engagements. He would rather go out for a walk than have ineffective communication with people, especially men.

Of course, Li Changxi is a big shot and Wang Sian cannot ignore him. Now, they can’t delay any longer and they have to meet today.

Li Changxi brought a girl with her. She was very beautiful, with a good figure and good looks.

This girl has been mentioned before. She is He Yiting, the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong last year.

He Yiting has been with Li Changxi for several months and is considered a rare long-term lover for Li Changxi.

As soon as Li Changxi came up, Wang Sian and Lin Gongxin stood up to greet him, exchanged a few words with him, and sat down at the table together.

Mr. Lin called in a new clerk and ordered another pot of tea.

Although none of them were used to drinking tea and had never come into contact with tea water before, since they were in a teahouse, they had to do something appropriate.

Besides, it’s okay to drink some tea occasionally, it’s a good experience.

Li Changxi smiled and said, "Master Wang, Master Lin, it's been a long time since we last met. You still look so cheerful."

Wang Sian waved his hand: "No, we are old, how can we still be cheerful?"

"Oh, thirty years old is still old? You are in the prime of life! Where have you been these days? Not all tourist attractions, right? Do you want me to take you to some nice places?"

Wang Sian took a sip of tea and said, "Forget it, forget it. Hong Kong Island is so small. We have been around every street and alley. There is nothing to do."

Li Changxi knew that Wang Sian was being blunt, so he didn't get angry. He continued, "Where are you going next? Are you going back to the mainland? Or are you going to go abroad? I want to go to the country of Japan. Are you two interested in going together?"

Wang Sian waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Let's go to the Little Country later. We have things to do in Hong Kong Island, so we may have to stay for a few more days."

Li Changxi asked curiously, "What happened to you in Hong Kong Island? What happened?"

"No big deal, just going to an island to take a look."

Li Changxi felt even more puzzled. Were Wang Sian and Lin Gongxin going to an outlying island?

There are indeed many outlying islands in the waters near Hong Kong Island, but there are only a few decent, large-scale ones with tourist attractions. Most of them are concentrated on a few large outlying islands.

Of course, the scenery of these outlying islands cannot be compared with the islands in countries such as Thailand and Malaysia. They even appear very desolate, and even the sea water is not very good and is very turbid.

Wang Sian and Lin Gongxin, two young men from the mainland, are not worldly-wise newbies, so why would they want to go to a place like that?

Li Changxi quickly asked, wanting to know which outlying island they were going to.

Wang Sian has a characteristic, which is that he can't hide anything in his heart. He doesn't want to hide anything at all, and he doesn't think it is necessary to hide such things.

"You should know Hu Jiangshan, right?"

Li Changxi was stunned: "I know, he is Hu Yingxiang's grandson, we see him often."

Hong Kong Island is so small, and as both are from wealthy families, it is impossible for Li Changxi not to know Hu Jiangshan. However, Li Changxi would not say that he and Hu Jiangshan had a small grudge and their relationship was not very good.

Li Changxi suddenly understood and said, "Master Wang, the island you are going to is not the one that Hu Jiangshan bought, right?"

Wang Sian nodded: "Yes, it's the island he bought. Have you been there?"

Li Changxi waved his hand and said, "I've been there. Listen to me, the island is called Jiangjun Island. It's a small island with nothing to see. It's not worth mentioning. I don't know what's wrong with Hu Jiangshan to spend money to buy such a small island."

Lin Gongxin showed a surprised expression: "That island is not very good? No way, if it is really that bad, why did Director Wang choose such an island to shoot?"

Li Changxi was stunned again when he heard this: "...What, what do you mean? What scene? Who is Director Wang?"

Wang Sian raised his eyebrows: "Director Wang, you don't know? Then Chen Yifei, you should know, right?"

"Yes, of course I know Chen Yifei. Could it be that she is also going to film on Hu Jiangshan's island?"

"Of course, Chen Yifei is the heroine of Director Wang's play."

Li Changxi frowned.

This is really unexpected. I didn't expect that Hu Jiangshan's damn island has such a use. It was actually noticed by a mainland film crew and they wanted to go there to shoot.

The key is that there are top female stars like Chen Yifei, which shows that this is not just a casual small crew.

This made Li Changxi even more envious and jealous.

This is really weird! Why does it seem like Hu Jiangshan always has good things happen to him?
"By the way, where is Director Wang? Is he in Hong Kong Island now?"

Wang Sian took a sip of tea and laughed, "Director Wang, it's far away in the horizon, yet it's right in front of us."

"Ah? Right before my eyes? Where?"

Wang Sian pointed at Wang Qiuming who was sitting not far away: "That's him. What? Should I go and talk to him?"

Li Changxi was delighted and said, "That's great. I know a few islands with beautiful scenery, which are much better than Hu Jiangshan's small island. I will recommend them to Director Wang."
