Chapter 390 Hong Kong businessman liar

   With the development of the past few years, the mainland has paid more and more attention to foreign investment. Under the dual requirements of economic development and political performance, local governments have tried their best to attract investors. Among these investments, the assessment of foreign capital is the most important, so Zhongshi's investment of 100 million US dollars in 1994 became a favorite.

Originally, some people had already thought about Zhang Yuanchao's position, but they inquired a little bit, and realized that this part of the investment was entirely for Zhang Yuanchao's personal affection, and it was not in place at once. , it is very likely to anger investors and make this investment go to waste. In the end, after these people considered it over and over again, they could only give up the activity of secretly replacing it.

But today is different. Over the past few years, Zhong Shi’s investment has been set aside by half. It is impossible to leave at this time, and Zhang Yuanchao’s term of office is about to expire, so on the calm surface Behind him, the undercurrent that wanted to replace him began to surge again.

"Where's the new position?" Zhong Shi was a little surprised when he heard the news at first, but after thinking about it a little, he felt a little relieved. Under the current system, there is indeed no one who can Sitting in the same position for a long time.

   Moreover, Zhang Wei also said that even if Zhang Yuanchao could no longer protect them, his successor would not be able to embarrass them for his own political achievements.

"It hasn't been decided yet!" Zhang Wei smacked his lips twice, feeling a little discouraged, "There are two positions now, the first one is a high-ranking official in this province, but it must be the marginalized one. The other one is Ganjiang Province The senior officials of the Standing Committee."

   "Is there any difference?" Zhong Shi is not in the officialdom after all. In his opinion, the two are high-ranking officials, so naturally there is not much difference. However, since Zhang Wei also said "join the Standing Committee", there must be some kind of difference between the two.

Zhang Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, you don't really understand it. See what my dad means, he is going to Ganjiang Province. Hey, from now on, my buddy will be alone in Jiangxi Province. The Central Province is messed up, it's really miserable!"

  He spoke miserably, but the joy on his brows could not be concealed no matter what. In Nandu, he was just a small yamen, and because Zhang Yuanchao's family education was very strict, although Zhang Wei had a free and easy temper, he only played small troubles on weekdays. But if Zhang Yuanchao went to another place, no one knew what would happen to Zhang Wei without restraint.

  Zhong Shi naturally would not pay attention to these things, the two cousins ​​chatted and laughed, and arrived in Jiangdong City in a few hours.

   "Huh, where is this?" Zhong Shi was stunned when he saw the surrounding scene after getting off the car, pointing to the magnificent palace and said, "Is this the Forbidden City? The place where the emperor used to live?"

"Yes!" Zhang Wei said with a thumbs up, "This is the 'Forbidden City', and the buildings inside are completely imitated on a one-to-one scale." "Even these bricks are exactly the same as those in the north, and they are guaranteed to be 100% original."

  Zhong Shi was dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a while. Scanning around again, I found that at the city gate at the front of the square, a group of "Qing Dynasty guards" wearing red tasseled hats and yellow jackets were coming out of the city gate, and on the opposite side, only a few hundred meters away Under a row of pine trees outside, a few "officials" of the Qing Dynasty in bird official uniforms and Valin tops were sitting around a campfire to keep warm. Next to them was a high-mounted video camera. A staff member in a down jacket is walking around the camera, busy all the time.

"These are extras, and the protagonist is over there." Zhang Wei pointed to the "guards" walking back and forth, "They are rehearsing and moving, and they will try to pass it when the machine starts. Extras are also actors, although Just showing your face, but you can't waste film, can you?"

  Zhong Shi nodded slightly, still digesting all this silently in his heart, but in the next second something happened that surprised him, "Mr. Zhang, come to visit the class today? Do you have any cigarettes? Would you like one?"

"How about it, where did you shoot today, when will it be finished?" Zhang Wei took out a pack of cigarettes with a smile, and gave the other party a cigarette. After lighting it up, he patted Zhong Shi on the shoulder who was looking around, He said proudly, "This is my cousin, the big boss in Hong Kong, and he funded the establishment of this film and television city."

  Because Zhang Wei is the son of a local magistrate and he is the boss of the company, he often haunts here, so most of the crew here know him, no, someone came to deal with him as soon as he showed up.

Zhong Shi turned his head and was surprised again. The person talking to Zhang Wei turned out to be an "emperor", wearing a nine-clawed golden dragon robe, a jade tassel Xia Dynasty crown on his head, and a longan red chaozhu around his neck. He was reaching out to Zhong Shi with a smile , "It turns out that the big boss is here. It's really rare. I've been filming here for so long, and it's the first time I've seen the big boss come over in person behind the scenes. Hello, hello, let me meet you. I'm Leung Ka Wai, and I'm also from Hong Kong. "

  "Liang Sheng, hello, I'm Zhong Shi." Zhong Shi mechanically shook hands with the other party, with a dull expression on his face, "Your Majesty, oh no, Liang Sheng, why do you want to come to the mainland to film?"

  Regarding Zhong Shi's reaction and slip of the tongue, Liang Jiawei and Zhang Wei looked at each other in a tacit understanding, with smiles on their faces. They naturally knew that people who saw this situation for the first time would inevitably lose their composure. It's just that they don't know that Zhong Shi is a time traveler, and after seeing this scene of no distinction between ancient and modern, his reaction is much more intense than ordinary people.

"Zhong Sheng, you also know that Hong Kong's economy is not good now, even the film market is not good. I always have to eat, so I ran here to find food." Liang Jiawei's Mandarin is neither good nor bad Poor, I have a strong accent, but I can still understand it, "I can't help it, and there are a few kids who want to study and eat. The building I was originally looking at is closed, and I plan to change it this year." There is no place to live, but now it is a problem whether there is a job or not.”

"Ah?" Zhang Wei was stunned. He looked at Liang Jiawei, who was looking sad, and Zhong Shi, who was still in a daze. , did you really lose a lot of money, didn't you just run away this time?"

He has been very enthusiastic since he received Zhong Shi, and he naturally wanted this cousin to invest more, but when he heard Liang Jiawei say that Hong Kong's economy is so bad, he felt a little uneasy, and he even said "" Run away" was also said.

   "Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhong Shi glanced at Zhang Wei dissatisfied, "I won't die even if others die, don't you know?"

"That's true!" Zhang Wei glared at Zhong Shi, his expression immediately became embarrassing, but after a moment of embarrassment, he changed the subject again, "Old Liang, nothing happened here recently, no one is embarrassing your crew Bar?"

Liang Jiawei chuckled, and said: "It's much better here, and there is no Hong Kong underworld. Of course, no one makes things difficult. Besides, when we say that it's about you, Mr. Zhang, it's too late for them to fawn on you. How can they make things difficult for us! There hasn't been a big deal recently. It happened, but there was a strange thing yesterday, I think Mr. Zhang should take care of it."

   "Oh? What's the matter?" Zhang Wei asked strangely, "But friendship belongs to friendship. I won't interfere with things that shouldn't be meddled. There is no way, the old man is too strict."

"A Hong Kong businessman came here yesterday, speaking vernacular." Liang Jiawei glanced at Zhong Shi with a complicated expression, "He said that he plans to build a five-star hotel here and plans to invest tens of millions of dollars. I chatted with him After half a day, I found out that the company this person mentioned was actually set up in Sham Shui Po, there might be something wrong with it!"

   "Sham Shui Po?" Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out at all, "Isn't this place from Hong Kong? Why, is there any problem?"

"There is a problem!" Zhong Shi looked at Liang Jiawei and found that he was staring at him intently, and he understood somewhat in his heart, "If you have the ability to invest in such a large-scale project, the office is not located on Hong Kong Island, at least it is In a bustling place like Causeway Bay, it doesn’t make sense to place it in a place like Sham Shui Po where there are a lot of fish and dragons.”

  Compared to several other places, Sham Shui Po is more than one level behind in terms of the number of rich people and the degree of prosperity. It has long been considered one of the poorer and more chaotic places.

Although Zhang Wei also often goes to Hong Kong, the places he visited are all the most prosperous places in Hong Kong. Naturally, he didn’t know that there was such a place as Sham Shui Po, and he didn’t understand the meaning behind Zhong Shi’s words. He blurted out: " Huh? How far is Sham Shui Po from Victoria Peak and Repulse Bay? I must visit it next time I’m in Hong Kong.”

"Taiping Mountain? Repulse Bay?" Upon hearing these two words, Liang Jiawei's pupils shrank suddenly, and when he looked at Zhong Shi again, there was a bit of inexplicable taste in his originally relaxed eyes. awe? respect? Or is it hope?

  The Victoria Peak area of ​​Hong Kong Island is the place where Hong Kong rich people live. Most of the houses here are detached houses, not only can you live in them with money, but also have a certain status. And this little Mr. Zhong in front of him was actually able to buy a property there, presumably no matter whether it was wealth or status, it would not be that bad.

   "That's not the problem!" Zhong Shi was a little speechless to Zhang Wei's reaction, but he still asked patiently, "Yesterday, you said that uncle has important matters, so you can't just receive this investor, right?"

"Yeah?" Zhang Wei pouted, very disapproving, "This guy has been here several times, eating and taking food, and went to several places at the same time for inspection. This time I heard that he compared several places at the same time, and finally It was decided to invest in us, so my dad hurried back and planned to sign an investment agreement with the other party in these two days. Why, is there any problem?"

  Even if his nerves were too thick, after seeing Zhong Shi's face getting darker and more dignified, he could feel something was wrong.

   "If I'm not wrong, this person is most likely a liar!" Zhong Shi pondered for a while, and then said slowly, "Let uncle wait for a while, and wait until I find out the details of this person."

"But..." Zhang Wei was naturally shocked when he heard it, but he also thought that if the other party was not a liar, the investment would most likely fall through. He couldn't bear the responsibility, so he hesitated, "What are you doing How long will it take, if it takes too long, I'm afraid my dad won't be able to bear the pressure!"

"Don't worry, it won't take long!" Zhong Shi took out his phone while talking, and quickly dialed Land Rover's number, "Ah Hu, do something for me, it's like this, there is a guy who claims to be in deep water I opened a company, you send someone over there to look it up, and the address will be sent to you later.”

When he hung up the phone, he found that Zhang Wei still hadn't notified Zhang Yuanchao, so he couldn't help feeling a little angry, and his tone was a little harsh, "Why haven't you notified? It will be difficult if you are late. Don't worry, if It’s really delayed, at worst, I’ll pay the money!”

  Hearing his promise, Zhang Wei suddenly smiled, hid aside and made a phone call.

"Uh... Well, the conditions here are really rough. I can't bear to let a film star like you live below three stars." Zhong Shi turned around and saw Liang Jiawei's stunned face, so his expression was slightly explained embarrassingly.
