Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 91 091 [Don't Let Go]

Guan Shan is a very active person. Guan's Film Co., Ltd. is his sole proprietorship, but he has always been producing films with small investments. His recent film "Land Warrior" has been completed and is in post-production.

Today's cinema chains all adopt a 'guaranteed minimum' system, which means that no matter how much a movie earns at the box office, they are required to pay a certain amount of screening fees. This is very different from the profit-sharing system of later generations.

The minimum guarantee system is not very friendly to some low-budget films, and the films directed by Guan Shan are no exception.

However, there are still many people, including social groups, making movies. Luo Qihong doesn't know whether they can make money. According to these people's nature, they should be able to make money, otherwise they would not keep doing business at a loss.

"Ah Hong, I have no objection to your relationship with Jia Hui." Guan Shan sat on the sofa with a faint smile on his face. "I heard that you are the boss of two listed companies. I have encountered some difficulties in the film industry recently, so... can you invest? It doesn't take much money, 3 yuan will be enough, and I will give you a 5% stake."

Guan Shan came to ask for help because he knew Guan Jiahui was not at home.

Luo Qihong didn't want to do all this useless work. If he gave the money in front of Guan Jiahui, he could still be a good person and increase Guan Jiahui's favor towards him. If he gave the money in private, Guan Shan would not tell Guan Jiahui about it, so it was equivalent to giving it for free.

As for the movie that Guan Shan mentioned, in Luo Qihong's opinion, it was just garbage, a rubbish movie that couldn't even recover its cost.

However, Luo Qihong still had to give face to Guan Shan, "Uncle Guan, it's not that I don't want to invest, but Jiahui warned me that if I gave you money, she would break up with me."

These were all exaggerated words by Luo Qihong. Guan Jiahui only said, "Don't give money to my dad, otherwise I won't recognize him." The breakup and other things were all added by Luo Qihong himself, thinking that Guan Shan would not dare to ask Guan Jiahui anyway.

Guan Shan's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Jia Hui is just trying to scare you. She has finally found a boyfriend like you, and she won't have a conflict with you over something like this."

Luo Qihong took a deep look at Guan Shan, shook his head and said, "Uncle Guan, I really can't help you. Actually, I've seen your movie, Uncle Guan, and to be honest, the plot is too old-fashioned and doesn't fit the current market situation."

Hearing that Luo Qihong was not optimistic about his movie, Guan Shan's smile disappeared. He wanted to retort Luo Qihong, but thinking that he was looking for investment, he could only bite the bullet and continue, "Ah Hong, this movie..."

creak!

Before Guan Shan could finish speaking, Guan Jiahui pushed the door open and came back. When Guan Shan looked up and saw Guan Jiahui, he stopped talking immediately, with a look of confusion and hesitation on his face.

Since Luo Qihong had his back to the door, he pretended not to know that Guan Jiahui had returned. In fact, he had heard the voice and saw Guan Shan's different expression, so he pretended to take out his checkbook and said, "Okay, Uncle Guan! I'll invest this 3 yuan."

At this time, Guan Shan heard this and moved his gaze down to Luo Qihong. He was a little confused about Luo Qihong's sudden change.

Suddenly, a slender, white hand covered the checkbook. Guan Jiahui glared at Guan Shan and said to Luo Qihong, "I told you not to lend him money."

Luo Qihong looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know what to do.

But in his heart he was delighted, because this was the scene he wanted.

What? Will it offend Guan Shan?
Luo Qihong doesn't care much, or rather, he cared before, but now he has figured out the basic rules of the relationship between Guan father and daughter. Guan Jiahui doesn't want Guan Shan to make movies at all, because Guan Shan has been making movies for so many years and has lost money for so many years, and rarely makes money.

Seeing that Luo Qihong didn't react, Guan Jiahui simply took the checkbook away.

Guan Shan sighed helplessly and chose to leave Hehong Real Estate Company. The relationship was so strained, it was all his fault, and he couldn't blame his daughter for being ruthless. After Guan Shan left, Guan Jiahui threw the checkbook on the table in front of Luo Qihong and said unhappily, "Why did you secretly lend him money? You can't get it back if you lend it to him, and I won't pay you back."

Luo Qihong put away the checkbook and said, "It is only natural for a daughter to pay back her father's debts! You can't deny it. But you can pay it back with your body."

Seeing the smirk on Luo Qihong's face, Guan Jiahui understood what Luo Qihong meant. She rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Go find whoever owes you money. It's none of my business. I'll pay you back with my body."

Luo Qihong walked over, put his arm around Guan Jiahui's waist, and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Wear that short skirt and black stockings tonight."

Guan Jiahui slapped away Luo Qihong's hand that was touching him randomly, "No, if you want to wear it, you can wear it yourself."

Luo Qihong imagined himself wearing stockings and laughed, "Okay, then I'll wear them for you tonight. As a gift in return, you have to work harder."

The two flirted for a while. Guan Jiahui sat on the chair with her right leg on her left leg. She ignored Luo Qihong's touching of her leg. Her face was a little tangled. Finally, she said, "I don't want to be a real estate agent anymore. I want to speculate on residential units."

Luo Qihong stopped touching Guan Jiahui's legs, thought about it, and felt that it was not a good idea to keep pressing on her. Besides, he wanted to enjoy some time, and now it seemed that he had to bleed a little.

"Okay! I heard that Taikoo City will launch a new project soon. You can find someone to give it a try and buy 2 or 3 houses as an investment." Luo Qihong said lightly.

The current housing price in Taikoo Shing is 1130 yuan per square foot. The residential unit area ranges from 600 square feet to 1200 square feet. It is a medium to large residential building with a particularly good environment, unlike other communities which are narrow and poorly lit.

"A residential unit costs hundreds of thousands. How can I afford it?" Guan Jiahui blinked her big eyes and spoke with full of power.

At this time, Guan Jiahui had accumulated nearly 5 to 6 yuan in savings. Even if she added her stock investment from Luo Qihong, it was still not enough, and she did not even have half the funds for a residential unit.

Luo Qihong took out his checkbook again, wrote an amount of 30 yuan on it, handed it to Guan Jiahui, and said, "First, let someone buy two 2-square-foot residential units, and then rent them out. The rent will be used to repay the loan interest. Pay 700% as a down payment."

Guan Jiahui took the check and gave Luo Qihong a big kiss on the face, "Thank you! I will reward you well tonight."

This was the first time that Guan Jiahui received so much money from Luo Qihong, so she was naturally very excited. She thought that Luo Qihong liked her and that they should be able to get married in the future.

"You have a lot of money on hand, and you should be able to pay off your monthly loan. If you really can't pay it back, remember to tell me." Luo Qihong said, "Also, you have to continue to be a real estate agent, otherwise how can you have the money to speculate in real estate."

"Okay! I will continue to do it." Guan Jiahui was looking at the check. At this moment, she agreed with whatever Luo Qihong said.

After being warned by Luo Qihong, Lin Luoqi began to "wage war" against his two brothers. Although his funds were not as abundant as those of Lin Luoxun and others, Lin Luoqi's actions also caused them a lot of difficulties.

At least a lot more money was spent and the arrogance was reduced a little.

However, Lin Luoxun and Lin Luoshi were still determined to take revenge on Luo Qihong, so Luo Qihong set a trap for them.

Office of the Deputy General Manager of Haofeng Real Estate Company
Lin Luoxun was sitting on a chair, with the busy Victoria Harbour behind him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand with a serious expression. Opposite him sat Lin Luoshi, who looked a little excited.
