Chapter 118 Dragon Head Stick~
Summer won an Oscar in the US, which should be big news in China.

After all, no Chinese person has ever received this before.

However, this news didn't even go viral in the country for two days.

Because there's more big news—a change in leadership...

Summer, while in the US, called J to congratulate your father...

Summer hung up the phone and chatted with Peggy while waiting to board their flight at the Los Santos airport when she received another call from back home.

It was Brother Yong calling from Hong Kong.

Yong's voice was always calm and steady: "Tian'er, news has come from Yanjing. That guy surnamed Shen has been arrested. Apparently, he was cornered at the airport. He couldn't escape now..."

The guy surnamed Shen is the one who tricked Xia Tian into investing and endorsed him in Yanjing, the one who ran a Ponzi scheme.

Later, Xia Tian learned that on the morning of March 31, after holding another press conference to express his "injustice," this old man quietly appeared at the Capital Airport...

However, his every move had already been monitored by the relevant departments. When he was arrested on the spot, he was carrying three ID cards and a suitcase full of cash.

It is said that relevant departments set up more than 20 investigation teams across the country, and it took half a year to clarify all the accounts of Great Wall Company.

A year later, however, came a piece of news that was not unexpected: Shen had eaten peanuts.

At this point in time, even economic crimes, if they escalate too much, will eventually come to a head.

Speaking of Shen's arrest, Xia Tian naturally thought of another person.

This is the legendary figure he saw on Zhihu in his previous life—Li Hongtao, the inventor of the "brushless electric excitation motor," a top student from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Zhejiang University.

To save his life, he actively pursued inventions in prison, and surprisingly, he successfully invented a "brushless electrically excited motor" before his execution, winning a gold medal at the 5th China Patent Invention Expo! He was initially sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, later reduced to 17 years, and then further reduced at each level, finally being released in 2009 after serving his full sentence.
How do you say that?

Therefore, many people always want to put authors in jail and starve them if they don't write—liberal arts students are useless! If you're going to arrest someone, arrest a science student!
It's almost laughable to think about it—damn, why didn't you just stick to inventing things and live a comfortable life? Why did you have to do something so reckless?!
You won't know your potential until you're pushed!
……

Soon, Xia Tian said goodbye to Peggy and boarded the plane—Peggy had come to keep him company while he waited for his flight.

After returning to Hong Kong, Xia Tian continued filming "Fist of Legend" in full swing.

Meanwhile, a lot of news also came from the inland areas.

For example, Xiaoxu called and said that Jia Pingwa's "Ruined Capital" was being serialized in "October".

There's nothing new under the sun!
In addition, I saw news reports in the summer that the Yangpu Bridge in Shanghai was completed on April 8th—the world's longest cable-stayed bridge.

Shanghai is getting better and better~
On the Hong Kong side, I saw in the island's entertainment news in the summer that Nicky Wu released his solo album "Chasing Dreams" in March, and it sold 1 million copies in the first month!
Girls from all over East Asia are going crazy for this "Thunder Tiger"!
The first thing that comes to mind when I see the news in the summer is—how old is Liu Shishi this year?

(The answer is 6 years old~)

This month, Zhou Huajian also released her blockbuster work "Heartbreaker," which sold over 400 million copies...

Later, Milan called and said that some people in Yanjing wanted to set up a music school and had come here in the summer to solicit donations.

Milan: "What's the name of the Midi Music School? One of the founders is someone we met and even spoke with before in Maxim's. I think it's great, how about we sponsor it?"

Summer naturally agreed. Although he couldn't remember who the person who sang in Maxim was, spending 100,000 or 200,000 to make Boss Mi happy was not bad.

“Then let’s sponsor them. Let them run the school well. If they teach well, we can sponsor them again in a couple of years and organize a music festival or something…” Besides this, Milan also mentioned that her friends in Northeast China were doing business with Anna from Russia—the teenage tour guide who had previously gone to Russia.

The situation in Russia is not very stable yet, let alone in the Far East.

Many people here are starving, have no job opportunities, and lack supplies.

All that's left is the legacy of the Russian bear, a lot of heavy industrial assets, but they're inedible and unwearable, so they can only stay put and lie dormant.

But the Northeast needs these!

Domestic production capacity has always been insufficient; we need all those large trucks, military vehicles, and heavy machinery!
Now, these goods are transported from Da Mao to the northeastern border. All you need to do is pay protection money to the local tyrants (too much won't do), and then you can get the goods.

How simple is it?
You can take the goods first and pay later. You'll get paid after you sell them!

The various industrial products left behind by the Russians were of very high quality and flowed into Northeast China. After being packaged by the Northeast's industries, they were sold to other provinces.

This is a windfall from the times; of course, the most important thing is to make enough money and then run away immediately.
The two sides even came up with a very long list of items to be bartered!
After thinking for a long time, Xia Tian said "Okay".

He wasn't thinking about the present; the Northeast is a great place now, ranking among the top in the country.

But in a few years, the building will collapse... I'm afraid I'll have to do something about it.

……

Besides his family's calls, Han Sange's phone also got through to Yongge after being transferred twice.

Summer finished filming a few shots and called back during the lunch break.

"Third brother?"

Han San Ge mentioned something that Xia Tian also knew about, and it was even Han San Ge who initiated it.

When he returned to Hong Kong from the United States in the summer, Wu Siyuan, a famous filmmaker from Hunan, found him.

The two talked for more than two hours, and then Wu contacted the relevant departments in the inland areas and led a group of people north to "negotiate".

After 12 days of negotiations, he finally reached an agreement with China Film Group Corporation in mainland China that "Once Upon a Time in China II" will be released in mainland China on a revenue-sharing basis!
Earlier this year, it was said that the film would be imported, with revenue sharing and the company bearing its own profits and losses, but change is not something that can be achieved overnight.

China is so big that a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

This move by Hong Kong films to the mainland is a great opportunity. Summer and Brother Han secretly worked together to make this attempt possible...

Shanghai will be used as a pilot city to try to introduce the film revenue-sharing model.

Summer can't be used for personal gain with one's own film; that would be considered self-serving. We shouldn't give anyone cause for criticism.

Summer basically didn't show up, he just helped contact some people and let them make the talks, acting as a go-between.

It was mainly Han San Ge who facilitated this on a visible level.

Xia Tian: "My identity makes it inappropriate for me to come forward, but your identity is perfect."
