Reborn Capital Madman
Chapter 0285 Do not allow the world to see the white head
Although Gao Xian is young and has limited qualifications in the Hong Kong Government Administration Bureau, he has managed to eliminate the energy shortage crisis in Hong Kong, stabilize the prices of daily necessities, and now has a scale that is comparable to Jardine Matheson, the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong.
The huge real estate investment plan for the economic development of Xiangjiang and other major contributions, his voice is not small, and he is getting more and more attention.
In other words, in addition to earning huge wealth through business operations, Gao Xian has also accumulated well-known popularity through charity and public welfare, and has the courage to assume social responsibilities, winning a lofty official status.
For Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, describing Gao Xian as a popular person is a bit exaggerated, but the positive effects of appreciation, trust, and respect are definitely numerous.
Therefore, after Gao Xian first put forward the motion to suspend the collection of entertainment tax, others approved it after a little seconding. It was finally decided that it would be officially implemented on the first day of next month for a period of two years.
Shao Yifu, who had never expected that the efficiency would be so high, couldn't help but praise when he learned that the important matter had been accomplished: "Mr. Gao's voice in the Governor-General and the Administrative Bureau is getting bigger and bigger."
Gao Xian casually said modestly: "Actually, it was mainly Uncle Liu's suggestion. When it came to ideas, it not only took into account the interests of the film industry, but also took into account the stimulation of people's cultural life consumption. This is very important for the current economic development of Hong Kong.
Especially important.”
"Such a proposal that offers the best of both worlds, with the government giving up part of the tax revenue, is very cost-effective."
Being complimented by Mr. Gao Xian, Shao Yifu couldn't help but feel a little happy. He reciprocated the favor and said: "If Shanghua Culture has a movie and needs to contact theaters, just tell Shaw Brothers."
Gao Xian was amused by Shao Yifu's generosity, not to mention that this way, he would not have to open his mouth again.
After years of hard work, Xu Guanwen's professional standards have been greatly improved, and he finally produced Xu's satirical comedy that was enough to dominate the 1970s.
Gao Xian, who has personally seen the quality of the pioneering film of this genre - "The Ghost Horse", secretly understands that the era of the Xu brothers is coming. Although its business card effect may not be as good as that of Li Xiaolong's world-class,
But within Southeast Asia, even including one book, it can still achieve popular achievements.
With such a good card, of course Gao Xian had to borrow Shao Yifu's resources to make it even better.
In fact, during this period, apart from Li Xiaolong, Gao Xian could no longer find anyone worthy of being his "business card".
With his status as a justice of the peace and a member of the Executive Council, he couldn't really praise those romantic movie stars openly, so he had to pay special attention to Xu Guanwen.
Shao Yifu knew Xu Guanwen, but he didn't think much of him, so he immediately agreed. He didn't realize that this light and gentle courtesy would generate at least millions more movie box office sales out of thin air, and soft advertising such as home appliances and fashion.
The effect is even more difficult to estimate.
In fact, the suspension of entertainment tax by the Hong Kong government has indeed played a role in stimulating consumption. Before the first of next month, various theaters have stepped up their efforts to attract customers, and the movies released are even more popular.
The subject matter is more prominent.
Don't underestimate the boldness of Xiangjiang films during this period. Even the limited films of the 1990s in "old scripts" may not be able to surpass them in terms of routines.
This is the social atmosphere in Hong Kong. As long as it is a profitable business, there is never a shortage of outstanding people to do it.
But in the midst of all this glitz, a breaking news suddenly popped up: Hu Xiaoman, the heroine of the currently being screened romance film "Sexy Dogs and Horses", committed suicide.
Because of Hu Xiaoman's "excellent" performance on the big screen, many viewers were fascinated and entered the theater several times.
It would be strange if such a lively and beautiful lady suddenly lost her beauty and died. It would be strange not to cause a sensation.
Gao Xian was accompanying Yi Huirong, who had finally coaxed her back to Xiangjiang to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Li Hanxiang, the director of "Sexy Dogs and Horses", came over and whispered this special news.
Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said to himself, it's not that big of a deal, Hu Xiaoman is not a devout man or woman, so there is no limit to what she can do that would make her think hard.
Li Hanxiang couldn't help but lamented, "Beautiful female stars are hard to find, but beautiful female stars who can completely let go and act freely in front of the camera, making the audience mesmerized, are hard to come by."
"That's true." Gao Xian nodded, "How many movies has your New Guolian Film Company signed with Hu Xiaoman?"
Li Hanxiang replied: "Please give Hu Xiaoman a performance contract as a real heroine. "Sexy Dogs and Horses" is the first one, and there are four more films left."
Gao Xian muttered: "At least we are a host and guest. If there is any moral issue where we need help, you can show up. However, Hu Xiaoman's background is extremely complicated. I'm afraid there will be repercussions. You should be careful what you say."
After receiving the instructions, Li Hanxiang nodded to express his understanding, then stood up and left.
Gao Xian's prediction was indeed correct. Hu Xiaoman's suicide caused an uproar in the city. In addition to the initial theory of frustrated love, the theory of underworld oppression, the theory of unbearable drug torture, etc., the cause of death also deduced various theories.
A conspiracy theory. One evidence is that Yu Duoduo, the female boss of Hu Xiaoman’s film company, was controlled by the Xiangjiang police.
Gao Xian really frowned when he heard what happened to Yu Duoduo. Isn't this woman generally brave? She doesn't know what she has done. She has immigrated to the United States, why are she going back to Xiangjiang? Look at Lu
Le, Chinese detectives like Lan Gang, once they escape from Xiangjiang, who would dare to go back?
As far as Gao Xian knew, this woman Yu Duoduo not only knew a lot of things, but she was probably also involved in a lot of things.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption in Xiangjiang is about to emerge, and Yu Duoduo falls into the hands of the Xiangjiang police. It is estimated that Wen Enhui behind it will be in big trouble. I don't know how effective the Wen family's protective umbrella can be.
But, who uncovered Yu Duoduo’s line?
Soon, Gao Xian knew the answer.
On this day, Wen Enhui came to Gao Xian's office and handed over a bulging document bag, "Mr. Gao, I want us to get acquainted and do me a favor. Realize these properties in Xiangjiang and transfer the money to this Swiss bank account."
, the sooner the better, I’ll give you 10% more commission.”
Gao Xian calmly poured out the contents of the document bag and looked through it.
Wen Enhui stressed: "Don't worry, the background of these properties are all innocent. It's not like you don't know how thorough I am in doing things."
"I am a businessman, so it is naturally difficult for me to refuse such a lucrative deal." Gao Xian smiled and asked curiously: "Young Master Wen, would you mind telling me what kind of trouble you have encountered?"
"As long as you are willing to listen, I am willing to speak." Wen Enhui told the whole story nonchalantly, "I have basically taken control of the Wen Group, but my cheap sister Wen Enjie, who did not give birth to a son for the Shi family, is unwilling to launch a counterattack
, Duoduo’s troubles should be her fault.”
"As for Hu Xiaoman's death, it really has nothing to do with me, because she has no capital to get rid of our control, so there is no need for us to waste such a good chess piece."
Gao Xian frowned and said: "Sir Wen just let you brothers and sisters fight like this, wasting the strength of the Wen family needlessly?"
Wen Enhui put down the cup and said leisurely: "No matter how beautiful a person is, he can't resist the invasion of aging. My father had a stroke and his health is not as good as before, but few people outside know about it."
Gao Xian pondered: "Gerber's escape back to the UK caused huge waves in Hong Kong society, forcing the government to intensify its efforts to combat corruption. An unprecedentedly powerful institution, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, will soon begin operations."
"Under such circumstances, the internal fighting among your Wen family, even if there is a winner, will seriously damage the strength of the Wen family. Why bother? Why not sit down and talk, at least temporarily avoid the ICAC?"
Limelight."
A sharp look flashed in Wen Enhui's eyes, "Even if I sit down and talk, I can't find anyone. They are on vacation in Europe."
Gao Xian shrugged, "It's better that you know what you're doing, lest everything you try so hard to get ends up benefiting the government controlled by the British."
Wen Enhui stared at Gao Xian with interest and asked: "I have always been curious, are you a gentleman or a treacherous villain?"
"Judging from the way you donated money to build Taohuayuan Village, stabilize prices, etc., you are a gentleman; but you have never been shy about associating with bad people like me."
Gao Xian laughed, "If you admit that you are a bad person, then I will admit that you are a good person. Don't you think that being a good person is more challenging and requires more wisdom than being a bad person? Otherwise, you may end up with something different.
It's better to admit that you are a bad person from the beginning."
After Wen Enhui was silent for a moment, he spoke again: "Mr. Gao, I know you must have subordinates who do dirty work and are outstanding. Please help me send a message to Duoduo. I will do everything possible to keep her safe and sound."
Having said this, Wen Enhui took off the peace charm from his neck, put it on the table, then pointed to the pile of documents in front of Gao Xian, "The reward is a 10% increase in commission."
"I have to say, your generosity surprised me." Gao Xian nodded and said, "I'll try my best to help you exchange information."
Gao Xian was very serious about this statement, but the words he sent were Yu Duoduo's last words, "I will always keep your secrets."
Looking at Wen Enhui's downcast face, Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect this woman to be so cruel to me."
To be honest, the life and death in front of him could no longer stir up ripples in Gao Xian's heart, but the next piece of bad news still shocked him - Li Xiaolong passed away in Los Angeles due to sudden death from epilepsy.
Gao Xian's first reaction was that Li Xiaolong could not escape the clutches of the disease after all and died young, jealous of his talents.
Later, Gao Xian couldn't help but think that for Li Xiaolong's achievements, this fateful arrangement might be a secret attempt to preserve a kind of perfection and not allow him to grow old in the world.
Because of Li Xiaolong's feud with the martial arts and media circles in Hong Kong, the box office of Li Xiaolong's first true Hollywood work "Enter the Dragon" in Hong Kong dropped from more than 5 million in the previous film "Enter the Dragon".
to more than 3 million. Therefore, although "Game of Death" was released in American theaters, Li Xiaolong was too angry not to come to Hong Kong to promote it, so the film has not yet been released in Hong Kong.
This shows how tense the relationship between Li Xiaolong and Xiangjiang is.
Ironically, after the bad news of Li Xiaolong's death reached Xiangjiang, the media changed their attitude and began to report overwhelmingly. They tried their best to sensationalize the story and actually achieved good sales.
Gao Xian was too lazy to pay attention to the turbulent state of the world, and quickly arranged his trip to attend Li Xiaolong's funeral in the United States.
It just so happens that I still have a lot of official business to deal with during this trip.
Just take the Xiangjiang gold market as an example. Xiangjiang has abolished gold controls, while the United States is still imposing controls on gold. The resulting huge difference can attract American investors to come to Xiangjiang. As a Hong Kong gold and silver company,
The director of the exchange, Gao Xian, has the task of publicity and promotion.
In addition, Ma Yongda and two other employees from Hongji Securities also joined Gao Xian's team because they had to discuss some specific cooperation matters with their counterparts in American securities such as Merlin.
Seeing that her brother Ma Yongda was at work, Ma Qiwen also volunteered to join Gao Xian's accompanying team.
Gao Xian didn't stop her too much. Anyway, this little girl's English was pretty good and she could still do some odd jobs.
However, Gao Xian stopped Yi Huirong and did not let her go with him and went back to Canada. The reason was that if he wanted to live a comfortable life in Canada, it would be better for his family to carefully select their servants from Xiangjiang.
After arriving in Los Angeles and meeting Li Xiaolong's family, Gao Xian asked Zou Wenhuai, who arrived first, "Have Bruce's funeral arrangements been arranged?"
"Almost." Zou Wenhuai nodded, "Bruce will be buried in Seattle where he went to college."
At this time, Li Xiaolong's widow Linda handed Gao Xian a letter, "This was left by Bruce during his lifetime."
Gao Xian put it away with great care, and then sighed sadly: "I have lost a confidant to discuss philosophy!"
Linda held a pair of young children and said with choked sobs: "Bruce's life is very exciting!"
Gao Xian nodded, "Ordinary people die like a lamp, but Bruce is a great figure who let the world know what Chinese Kung Fu is. Even after his death, he still has huge influence."
Having said this, Gao Xian paused, looked at the young Xiang Ning and Guohao, and continued slowly: "Therefore, I want to set up a foundation to commemorate Bruce's achievements and the artistic legacy he left behind.
Waiting, it will also make Xiangning and Guohao know clearly what an amazing person their father is when they grow up."
Linda was immediately moved by Gao Xian's words, and immediately without hesitation entrusted Gao Xian with full authority to run the only official foundation commemorating Bruce Lee.
