Hong Kong Stubborn

The next day, Luo Junyan came to Mencorroque's Snowman Era advertisement, and he wanted to have a good chat with Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng dipped his cigar and said, "A Jun, I also want to talk to you. You have seen the advertising situation in the Snowman Age. The employees are almost gone. There are few customers left. Do the advertising company still want to continue? Run it? Now it's up to you to make the decision."

When Luo Junyan entered the Snowman Era, all he saw were empty workstations along the way. He felt very uncomfortable, this was the painstaking effort of sister army, and it was destroyed like this.

Brother Cheng looked at Luo Junyan who was sullen and silent, and sighed, and said, "Ajun, I am your master. Just say a few heartfelt words. The army wanted to immigrate to the United States because of fear of being targeted by wolves. , As a result, she was not willing to leave because of you."

Brother Cheng handed Luo Junyan a cigar, "After you get married, the army will stay away from gatherings of the rich, powerful, and celebrities, or because of you, she discarded the contacts in the mall and the source of important news. Jun, if the army is Still dealing with people of the Xiangjiang class, do you think you will lose the lawsuit this time? Even if you lose, you definitely don’t have to worry about imprisonment, right?"

Luo Junyan sat on the sofa and nodded slightly.

Brother Cheng looked at him and said, "A Jun, the army gave up a lot of things for you. Her ambitions for her career, her perception of values, and her future plans have all changed because of you. And compromise."

Brother Cheng raised his tune, and then said: "Then what did you do for the army? Maybe it is enough to have love between you. I will not comment on this aspect. But you are not married to an ordinary housewife, you Don't you want to make some changes for her? You should fight for the army's life goal once, even if it is true love, one party can't always give."

Brother Cheng walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This incident has reminded us all. Either take the money and live in seclusion, and there will be no disputes with the world in the future. Or you have to create your own influence. Money alone is the pork on the chopping board. A man can’t be without the right to make it uncomfortable for people to ride on their heads and shit. How will you protect the army in the future?"

Luo Junyan thought about Cheng Cheng's words carefully, but did not express his opinion on the spot.

After experiencing some things, Luo Junyan slowly began to have some city mansions. It doesn't hurt to listen to other people's opinions, but in the end, you have to make your own decision and do it. You don't have to say it.

That night, Luo Junyan asked Bian Sicong to go out for a drink. After Luo Junyan agreed, Bian Sicong also brought a distant relative David from the United States who came to Xiangjiang on a business trip, a sales specialist from the US Ferradi Island Agency.

Luo Junyan rarely goes to the bar to drink, but this time he offered to find a bar. The three of them sat on the sofa in the corner, ordered a few bottles of XO, and chatted while drinking.

When he was half drunk and half awake, Bian Sicong patted Luo Junyan's shoulder with drunken eyes and said: "A Jun, we have been together for several years and you treat me like a brother. I will just say a few words about you."

Luo Junyan nodded and said, "Brother Cong, say it."

Bian Sicong said: "You are an artist who has no pursuit, and a director with no faith. You are also an easy-going film company owner. People say that Wenrouxiang is a hero's grave. After you get married, you will not be motivated anymore. You only shoot one film a year. Every time people in the movie circle see me, they ridicule and sarcastically, that's not the way the career is done."

Luo Junyan still asked calmly: "Brother Cong, you are more knowledgeable than mine. How do you think you should run a film company to become bigger and stronger?"

Bian Sicong said staggeringly: "Signing artists, mastering distribution channels, and increasing production. All these must be done. And most importantly, you must have the right to speak and have your own propaganda platform."

Brother Cong finally found a chance to vent, pulling Luo Junyan to say: "A Jun, the films made by Snowman Century Entertainment rely on the hype of hot events and the curiosity of the audience, and they are lucky. This is not good. Good luck a few times does not mean good luck again, and if you continue like this, sooner or later you will lose everything."

Luo Junyan shook the glass and asked, "Brother Cong, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Bian Sicong said: "Your mind is not in your career. What is the use of reminding you? Your married life with sister army is so sweet. Don't say that you still hold tens of millions of income every year, even if you earn every year in the future. If it’s just enough for the cost, you will feel very satisfied. Why should I ruin your happy life?"

Luo Junyan nodded and said, "Brother Cong, we are good brothers. What do you think of me in the future, you must remind me in time. Brother Cong, you are too young, why don't you find a girlfriend for dating?"

Bian Sicong was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "I have done nothing so far, so how can people look at me? Even if she agrees to date, her family will not accept me."

Luo Junyan put the wine glass on the table and said, "Brother Cong, it seems that you already have a woman you like. I tell you, if you want to chase, you can chase, you believe me, I will let you become an entertainment circle sooner or later. The top man."

At this moment, Luo Junyan is also in Jiu Jin's brain, and the righteous Lingran continued: "Besides, you are dating a woman you like, not with his family. You care if they accept you or not. I really don't believe it. In this age, you two can still be separated by her family. If you need it, you can say a word and I will help you find a way to fix her family."

Bian Sicong glanced at Luo Junyan, did not reply, and touched him with a toast.

David, sitting on the other side, was drinking sullen wine with a sad expression, with a worried expression.

This time because of the global financial crisis, the rich have dumped private islands in order to withdraw funds. Nowadays, there are no buyers to take orders for private islands. Not only the prices of the islands have plummeted, but Ferradi’s business has almost stagnated.

So the company sent David, who speaks Chinese and has a Chinese face, to Xiangjiang. The intention is to find several Asian takers, open up stable customer channels in emerging markets, and revitalize the company's business.

David is also very depressed, and the financial crisis in Asia is equally serious. Moreover, investors in HeungKong Financial are not as focused on one area as Europe and the United States. They usually speculate on stocks, foreign exchange, futures, etc. together.

This has caused the liquidity of market funds to be even tighter than in the United States, and investors in Hong Kong have already sold properties in large numbers. The reason is that the same group of speculators can only choose to dismantle the east wall to make up the west wall in order to cover the funding gap after the financial market has been leveraged.

Luo Junyan ignored David and said, "David, you should consider it as a holiday in Xiangjiang. How many people can afford a private island on our side? The most wealthy here is just buying a yacht for fun. ."

David looked at Luo Junyan in surprise, and said, "A Jun, many private islands are cheaper than yachts. The rich who can buy high-end yachts can definitely buy the islands."

Luo Junyan was stunned for a moment. In his mind, the private island could only be played by the super master Huang Laoxie, how could it be cheaper than a boat.

So Luo Junyan asked in detail. Through David's introduction, he knew that it was really cheap, and that there was no restriction on the nationality of the purchaser, that is, taxes must be paid every year.

Freehold islands in the United States need to pay about 1% of the government’s estimated land tax each year. But now is an extraordinary period. Temporary laws stipulate that you can obtain American citizenship immediately after you buy the island.

Luo Junyan hesitated and asked, "David, are there any smaller islands in the United States? Not the kind of deserted island, but the kind that has a villa already built."

David immediately became excited and talked about several private freehold islands for sale.

Finally, he especially recommended a private island located in the waters near Manhattan, New York, USA. The area of ​​this private island is 48 acres, which is more than 194,200 square meters. The ownership of the 10 acres surrounding the island also belongs to the owner of the island.

The current owner of this island is a banker. The buildings on the island were built in 1940 and include 6 luxuriously decorated single-family villas, a swimming pool, a large garden, a small pond, a 76-meter-long pier, and even pastures and stables.

The most rare thing is that it takes only half an hour to reach Manhattan by boat from this island, which is definitely a crown-class location. If it were not for the global financial crisis, the island owner would never sell it.

Luo Junyan was moved by David's description. He wanted to prepare a manor-style villa for the army, which was originally planned to be built in South Korea. This American private island is much more stylish than a manor house, and it is extremely private.

So Luo Junyan asked: "David, I can't afford it because it's too expensive. You can quote me an affordable price."

David smiled and said: "I am very professional. The customer is my God, Jun, please believe me on this. The listed price of this private island is 23 million U.S. dollars, which is unbelievable. The price estimated by our company the year before last was 40% lower."

Luo Junyan converted a bit in his head, and then said: "For 15 million US dollars, I can sign the contract immediately and pay the full amount within 3 days."

David widened his eyes and said, "No, my dear friend. We are an American company, not Xiangjiang. The transaction cannot be bargained in this way. There is absolutely no inflated part in the price we assessed."

Luo Junyan raised his cup to touch him, and began to talk about it, no longer involving the topic of buying islands.

In the end, David couldn't help himself and said, "A Jun, let me be honest. At present, these financial players are indeed selling their assets to withdraw cash. But this freehold island is definitely less than 15 million US dollars in price. , Are you sure you can pay the full amount within 3 days?"

Luo Junyan nodded and said, "Your cousin knows my financial situation. I can just have so much cash on hand. But I can't accept 23 million U.S. dollars. The stock market has fallen so much. Why bother to put the money on an island? I bought the island and still need constant investment, then I will lose even more."

David said: "A Jun, I will communicate with the company tonight, and I will quote you a suitable price tomorrow. But 15 million US dollars is absolutely nothing to expect, the price is too outrageous."

Luo Junyan said dumbfoundedly: "Then wait for your company to re-quote, it doesn't matter if it succeeds, I'm ready to go into the stock market to buy the bottom. David, let's drink."

Early the next morning, David called Luo Junyan to explain the bargaining situation.

The Flady Island Agency of the United States conducted full and detailed communication with the owner of the island. The final quoted price was US$20 million, but the seller was responsible for the tax on the island transaction. David said that the price can never be lowered. Although he is very eager to conclude this transaction, he must respect the laws of the market.

Luo Junyan expressed his gratitude to David for his dedicated service. However, if only this is the case, then his own money will enter the Hong Kong stock market to sweep the goods in the afternoon. He believes that the Hong Kong stock market will rebound sharply at any time.

At noon, David called again, and the bottom-line offer was $18.5 million.

In order to facilitate the first transaction of Xiangjiang as soon as possible, the Flady Island Agency of the United States has given up intermediate profits. If Luo Junyan still insists on the price of 15 million US dollars, then he can only wish Luo Junyan success in the stock market.

Luo Junyan didn't delay this time, he had made up his mind to buy it. Firstly, when the army is released from prison, she must give her a surprise. Secondly, Huang Yaoshi didn't occupy Peach Blossom Island, and there was nowhere to hide in danger. How could he grow into a Dongxie?

Luo Junyan was not ready to follow the rules anymore. Dongxie is richer than Beigai, and for this, he has to live with Dongxie. Advancing can attack and retreat can defend, the rules are all set for others, I am proud of myself.

In the following week, Luo Junyan and David went to the United States together. The two parties formally signed the private island transfer contract, and Luo Junyan immediately paid US$18.5 million, equivalent to HK$145 million, in full cash.

Luo Junyan went to the island and turned around. The environment was really nothing to say. It would not be too much to say that it was a fairyland on earth. He dispelled the idea of ​​planting peach trees, and it was not easy for the woods to grow.

At a glance, the blue sky and the blue sea, the huge waves piled up a thousand layers of snow, the whole island is hidden under the lush dense forest, and the decoration of several villas is also very elegant. Moreover, the external transportation of the island is indeed extremely convenient. It takes half an hour to reach the port of Manhattan, New York by boat. Of course, he needs to buy a private yacht by himself, otherwise he has to rent a boat.

It will take half a month for this private island to go through the procedures for the name change of the property rights, and Flady is solely responsible for it. Under David's suggestion, Luo Junyan directly applied for American citizenship.

The United States recognizes dual citizenship, and Xiangjiang's identity can still be retained, which is considered to be the Three Caves of the Rabbit. Since Luo Junyan is ready to do a big fight, he has to leave a way for his family. Dad's knot can only slowly persuade.

The large expenditure of buying the island, plus the 50 million Hong Kong dollars from the charity fund and the 42 million Hong Kong dollars fine paid by the army sister, left over 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the special account of Luo Junyan's construction.

Luo Junyan has too many things to do next. Everything can't be delayed, you have to make eyebrows in a short time, and 13 months passed in a blink of an eye.

Insufficient money is still secondary, the big deal is to mortgage the property and borrow from the bank. The most important thing he is currently concerned about is, where can he recruit people who are worthy of his duties? The premise is that he can be trusted enough, and Mei Chaofeng's kind of barely acceptable.
