Hello, 1983

In recent years, the exchange rate between US dollars and Hong Kong dollars is more than 7:00, and 100 million US dollars is more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

Even for the Li family, that was a huge amount of cash.

In the eyes of others, Li Dashao is indeed a little angry, and he is angry at the crown for dignity.

In fact, Young Master Li's heart at this moment is extremely calm.

He has read books in the United States, and he knows the situation there. After a year, few movies can reach the box office of more than 100 million yuan.

He has also read a lot of articles discussing this movie, but he can't do anything about it. He pays special attention to everything related to Liu Qingshan.

He was dubious about the words of those experts in the United States, and for this reason, he deliberately consulted with several screenwriters and directors on Hong Kong Island, and came to similar conclusions.

That is absolutely impossible to exceed 100 million at the box office.

First, there are no stars, and second, it is not a big production like Superman, which has a box office of over 100 million. It is indeed a joke.

That's why Li Dashao has the courage to bet. This time, he wants to win back all the money and dignity he lost in the past.

The reason why Li Dashao showed so much struggle and hesitation, of course, was to play on the scene. He was afraid that if he agreed happily, what if Liu Qingshan went back on it?

Of course Liu Qingshan knew what Li Dashao had in mind, he was too familiar with this old opponent.

He immediately took retreat as advance: "Brother Li, I'm talking about the global box office."

"No, only the box office in North America." Li Dashao didn't want to give Liu Qingshan a chance.

What if somewhere else, in order to win the bet, pay someone to go to the movies?

In North America, he believed that the other party would not dare to do such a thing blatantly.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Li Dashao will still write this clause into the contract.

"Okay, then when we arrive on Hong Kong Island, we will find a lawyer to notarize and sign the contract." Liu Qingshan's face was a little resentful.

It turned out that there was a lot of people watching the fun and not afraid of big things. A big nose in the cabin immediately raised his hand:

"Hello, I'm LLP's attorney John, and I'm honored to serve you both, okay?"

LLP, short for Linklaters LLP, is headquartered in Great Britain.

It has offices in many countries and is considered a relatively well-known international law firm.

"Mr. John, welcome." Li Dashao was also afraid that Liu Qingshan would change his mind after getting off the plane.

The big-nosed John approached enthusiastically, exchanged places with Li Zeming, then stretched out his hands and shook hands with Li Dashao and Liu Qingshan, respectively, before showing his credentials.

"This guy has enough to eat, Mr. Liu, don't pay attention to them."

Uncle Ge is a little worried for Liu Qingshan. Although he doesn't know what's going on in the United States, the 100 million box office is still too scary.

Director Zhang and Actor Gong also waved their hands and shook their heads, signaling Liu Qingshan not to do such impulsive things. They are all insiders and know how difficult it is to make a $100 million box office.

Liu Qingshan nodded with a few people respectively, the kindness of others should still be appreciated.

But this bet, since people took the initiative to send money, how could I refuse it?

Immediately afterwards, John Big Nose moved the parties to a row of seats to discuss the details of the contract together.

After the plane flew for a few hours and landed at Kai Tak Airport, the contract was officially signed.

At this time, Hong Kong Island was still using Kai Tak Airport. After everyone took their luggage and left the airport together, they were surrounded by a group of media reporters.

This made Liu Qingshan also wonder: Did the news spread so quickly? The paparazzi on Hong Kong Island are indeed powerful.

However, when those reporters surrounded Director Zhang and others, and representatives from the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island also came to pick up the plane, Liu Qingshan realized that it was a misunderstanding.

In this era, communication is not developed, what happens on the plane, the news on the ground will not be heard so quickly.

But some people have ulterior motives. As soon as Li Dashao saw the media at the scene, he immediately took it into consideration, greeted Li Zeming, and muttered a few words, and the latter went to spread the news immediately.

When the reporters heard it, they almost went crazy. What the hell, Young Master Li made a bet with someone again!

These reporters didn't care about interviewing directors and actors from China, so they surrounded Liu Qingshan and Li Dashao and poked over a dozen microphones.

There are Mandarin and Cantonese. Wow, it's so lively.

Li Dashao tidied up the collar of his suit: "Friends from the media, this is a personal joke between me and Brother Qingshan, so I won't waste everyone's precious time."

Of course, the reporters refused to agree. This kind of big news can instantly attract the attention of everyone on Hong Kong Island, from the rich to ordinary people.

They still remember the outstanding contribution made by the gambling game last year to the prosperity of Hong Kong Island's entertainment.

This time, it involved 100 million US dollars. Even if they broke their heads, they would have to get first-hand information.

Of course, Li Dashao is also aware of the urination of the media on Hong Kong Island, so just now he was trying to get away with it.

The Mr. John Bull also followed suit and showed the contract between the two parties.

The reporters are really crazy now. They interviewed another party, Liu Qingshan. After getting confirmation, they cheered and dispersed.

They went back to send news, but more reporters came here.

Director Zhang and the others were squeezed to the side and looked at each other: Mr. Liu, who does not show much in the country, why did he make waves when he arrived on Hong Kong Island?

Liu Qingshan couldn't have imagined such a big battle, and now he can't leave even if he wants to.

He could only make a gesture to Director Zhang and the others, telling them to go first. Anyway, this group of people also has their counterparts on Hong Kong Island to entertain them.

Director Zhang and the others all got into the car worried, and they also thought that Liu Qingshan had no chance of winning this bet.

While Liu Qingshan was dealing with reporters, he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside the crowd: "Brother Qingshan, this kind of thing should be called my brother!"

He looked at the sound, and it was Boss Huo, who was waving at him.

There was another person standing beside him, it was Pan Mingpai, who also waved to Liu Qingshan gracefully.

"Friends from the media, someone is here to pick me up. I'm sorry." Liu Qingshan finally separated the crowd and squeezed out.

When the reporters saw Boss Huo and Famous Pan, their eyes lit up again, and they gathered around to interview.

In front of the media, these two also talked eloquently, expressing their willingness to join Liu Qingshan's camp, and openly handed down the gauntlet to those defeated men last time.

The media are crazy happy. The bigger the trouble, the happier they are.

Some bad reporters have begun to brew in their hearts, how to stimulate those big and young in the other camp in the newspapers at night and tomorrow morning.

This time, we have to blow up all those guys, to reproduce the feast of last year, or even better.

Liu Qingshan finally got into Boss Huo's car, and Pan Mingpai also squeezed into the car, looking at Liu Qingshan and smiling.

"Old Pan, why are you acting like a fox who stole a chicken?" Liu Qingshan couldn't help muttering.

Pan Mingpai laughed: "Of course I'm happy to follow Qingshan to make money."

Liu Qingshan smacked his lips: "Do you have so much confidence in me?"

Boss Huo, who was sitting in the co-pilot, raised his hand: "Anyway, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We are both prosperous and damaged."

right!

Pan Mingpai also stretched out his palm: "Brothers are united, their profits will break gold!"

The three palms were soon joined together.

After waiting for the car to enter the side of Hong Kong Island, Liu Qingshan called Boss Huo's driver and sent him to the headquarters of Longteng International Trading Company.

The brothers also wanted to catch the wind and dust for Liu Qingshan, and told Liu Qingshan to drive away: it is the business to fool those young and old to get on the boat.

Standing at the gate of Longteng International, watching people going in and out, Liu Qingshan really felt that what is now is not what it used to be.

As the trade becomes bigger and bigger, Longteng International also has a lot of popularity on Hong Kong Island.

Small commodity processing on Hong Kong Island is still a very intensive industry, so Chen Dongfang and the others will also make some big purchases in the local or Pengcheng factories, and then ship them to Eastern European countries.

Other businessmen also tried it, but they gave up quickly because they couldn't break into the market there.

Second, there is so much poverty over there, and the goods returned from barter have no sales.

They can't have the strength to acquire some local industries like Longteng Company, so they are unprofitable.

Liu Qingshan stared at the door for a while, and was about to step in when he saw a man coming out, wearing sunglasses, with long hair tied in a ponytail at the back.

This man was wearing a floral shirt, big pants, and sandals tugging under his feet.

This person is dark-skinned, and the more Liu Qingshan looks at him, the more familiar he looks, but he is a little reluctant to recognize him.

The man also saw Liu Qingshan, and immediately rushed up to him with a loud roar, hugged Liu Qingshan, his mouth was wow, he didn't know the local dialect there.

"Little five!"

Liu Qingshan still distinguishes the other from the sound.

Only then did Xiao Wu take off his sunglasses: "Haha, Qingshan, how is it, doesn't my current look look very chic?"

"Well, you're about to become a savage."

Liu Qingshan slapped Xiao Wu on the shoulder.

He was a little envious of Xiao Wu: he really lived a more free and easy life, so he asked with a smile, "Why did you come back and not be your emperor over there?"

"Isn't this coming back to recruit troops?" Xiao Wu said twice, then whispered:

"A few days ago, a lot of things were shipped, good guy, even tanks and helicopters."

Liu Qingshan knew that it was Maozi's side that was dumped from Eastern Europe, the government of Liland's side was about to collapse, and troubled times were coming. If there was no armed force to protect it, it would obviously not work.

He chatted with Xiao Wu about the situation over there, Xiao Wu just laughed:

"Qingshan, when will you go there, see for yourself, if I tell you all, what surprises will there be?"

If you are cruel, Liu Qingshan shook his head, he reckoned that there must be a good development there.

In fact, as long as there is water, it is equivalent to having the source of life. Those nearby herdsmen must be driving sheep and camels every day to drink water.

Drinking water does not forget the people who dig wells. Those local people, of course, have a high look at the people in the gathering place.

The two brothers entered the company together, and the top five of the company ran out as soon as Xiao Wu shouted.

Except for Yu Guangming, Ma Laosan and Zhang Long in Eastern Europe, the rest are all there, and they are all overjoyed to see Liu Qingshan.

The company has recruited a lot of new local employees. I only knew the name of this legendary big boss. Today, I finally saw the live one, and they all came over to say hello.

"Everyone, work normally." Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, then went to the office on the second floor.

The brothers sat around the sofa and started chatting. Chen Dongfang introduced the situation on the company's side. Everything was developing smoothly.

Some small problems encountered during the period were also successfully resolved. As for the general direction, there were no major obstacles at all.

It's just that the profitability is average. Because it is a barter trade, the company has accumulated a lot of cash in the country, and it is not of much use for the time being.

The currencies of Eastern European countries, except for the East German mark, are also not required.

In addition, the company has acquired non-pillar industries in some countries, such as culture and entertainment, and has acquired many cinemas in big cities.

Then there is the company's acquisition of a car factory, specializing in the production of small cars, the brand is a brand that Liu Qingshan has never heard of.

The rest are some industrial products, which were not shipped back to China, but were directly brought to Liland and put into construction.

Longteng International Trading Company has entered a virtuous circle.

Xiao Wu also carried a pocket with great interest, and poured it onto the desk. With a slam, the table was full of bright, sparkling small stones, colorful and dazzling.

"Where did so many gems come from?"

Liu Qingshan has done some research, but he can see that there are rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals, etc., many of which have not been cut and polished.

It was only after he asked him that he realized that many countries on the African continent are famous for producing various gems.

Xiao Wu bared his white teeth: "Hey, of course it was exchanged. There are tribes from Liland and several nearby countries, and they all came here to trade with us."

As he spoke, he picked out a blue and barking stone from inside:

"They call this Tanzanite, and it was exchanged by a local tribal chief with a motorcycle."

Liu Qingshan gasped when he heard it. Of course, he knew that tanzanite was a new type of precious gemstone, mainly blue and purple, famous for its dazzling colors.

By the way, the famous "heart of the ocean" inside the Titanic is actually Tanzanite.

Such a priceless stone can be exchanged with a motorcycle device, who do you have to reason with?

Thinking about it, Liu Qingshan suddenly felt a move in his heart: just to set up a jewelry processing factory, it would be great to have this channel to buy goods directly from there.

Yes, just did it.

He was thinking about it, and suddenly felt the silence in the room suddenly.

Liu Qingshan looked up and said, "What's the matter?"

Then I saw everyone's eyes, all staring at the TV. There was a host inside, broadcasting the news excitedly:

"The latest news received by this station is that a shocking bet is being staged again. Both sides of the bet are still our old friends."

"One is the son of a real estate tycoon on Hong Kong Island, and the other is Mr. Liu Qingshan of Longteng International Trading Company..."

Liu Qingshan blinked: "This news is really fast enough."

Xiao Wu laughed violently in his mouth: "Qingshan, you can't change someone else's pit!"
