The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

The oil crisis is global, and its impact on the toy industry is also very large, because plastic materials are derived from petroleum.

During this crisis, Yangtze Trading held plastic-related raw materials worth HK$150 million, which were purchased before the oil crisis. If calculated based on the value after the price increase, this batch of materials would be nearly HK$200 million.

However, Yangtze River Trading still supplies nearly half of its inventory to Hong Kong toy and plastic manufacturers at the price before the price increase, which is equivalent to a donation of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, the effect achieved is far from a matter of HK$20 million, but has two huge influences:

First, Hong Kong's plastic and plastic flower industries have made a desperate comeback to avoid a large number of bankruptcies; the Xiangjiang toy industry has strongly suppressed the Japanese toy industry. Originally, the Hong Kong toy industry had surpassed Japan in 1971 and became the world's largest toy export region; but now, Japanese toy manufacturers are even worse.

Second, Lin Zhichao gained the admiration of Hong Kong industrial and commercial entrepreneurs, reaffirming his leadership position in Hong Kong industry. Even the Hong Kong media reported on his deeds, and his personal influence increased again.

In Japan, which is not very far away, another "pessimistic" thing is happening.

Jiro Miyamoto is the boss of a Japanese toy manufacturer. In his early years, he was already struggling under the impact of the Hong Kong toy industry. During the oil crisis, his company was already insolvent and on the verge of bankruptcy.

He was in his office, looking anxious.

In 1971, Hong Kong fought a good battle in trade. Its toy industry, with its fantastic shapes, bright colors, modern trends, high quality and technology, and low prices, defeated the Japanese overlord in one fell swoop and ranked first in the world. This explosive news reached Japan, when six Japanese toy owners committed suicide by caesarean section. Two of them committed suicide in front of all members of the society.

Unexpectedly, it was his turn now, Miyamoto Jiro thought like this.

Faced with huge debts and the bank's collection methods, Miyamoto Jiro could no longer think of any solution; and the employees' salaries could no longer be paid.

If there was hope for his company in 1971, now he has no hope at all.

He was in a desperate situation and the thought of his debts filled him with despair.

"Hong Kong toys, damn it!"

Jiro Miyamoto cursed angrily, and then he slowly took out a katana from the cabinet with a crazy look in his eyes.

He wants to die to apologize!

He feels ashamed of the Japanese toy industry, the expectations of the company's employees, and his family.

Only by dying can we be freed!

"Snapped"

The office door opened, and the employees who came to ask for their wages were immediately surprised.

"President, no!"

"Someone, come quickly, the president is thinking of committing suicide by committing seppuku!"

After a while, more than a dozen employees came to the president's office.

Miyamoto waved the katana to prevent anyone from getting close.

Then he shouted: "Don't come over, I will die to apologize, I'm sorry for you!"

"Ah, stop it!"

With a scream, Miyamoto slowly fell down.

"Call an ambulance quickly"

"Oh my God, I still have three months of unpaid wages, and the family can't open the fire."

"Xiba, the president has committed suicide!"

Soon, ambulances and reporters arrived one after another. Miyamoto Jiro was taken away by the ambulance, while the reporters interviewed the employees.

the next day.

Japanese media reported that a toy dealer in Tokyo committed suicide because the company was insolvent.

The report pointed out that in the face of the impact of the oil crisis and Hong Kong's aggressive toy exports, where should the Japanese toy industry go?

At this time, the Hong Kong toy industry not only had the characteristics of "high quality and low price", but also had the characteristics of high quality, high technology and high culture. Barbie dolls, Transformers, and even special forces all over the world are manufactured in Hong Kong. Especially in the fields of model toys, mechanical structures and other fields, it is world-renowned.

Hong Kong toys are no longer a representative of 'copycats', but a prestigious 'innovation base'. The prototype of Transformers comes from Hong Kong, and the Rubik's Cube comes from Hong Kong.

The Japanese media extensively reported on the huge impact of the Hong Kong toy industry on the Japanese toy industry, which caused many Japanese toy manufacturers to be on the verge of bankruptcy and even committed seppuku.

Media Building.

Zou Wenhuai came to Lin Zhichao's office and said: "Boss, did you read today's newspaper? Bruce Lee passed away?"

Lin Zhichao said: "How come I didn't see such a big news! I found before that he seems to be working too hard and may be dangerous in this regard, so I asked you to pay more attention to this aspect. I just didn't expect that it can't be avoided. It's really It’s a pity!”

When Bruce Lee was filming "Enter the Dragon", he already had symptoms such as headaches. At that time, Zou Wenhuai had been lobbying him to go to the United States for regular check-ups. Now that I have lived nine months longer than in my previous life, it seems that my destiny will not change much easily.

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "He is quite stubborn and has never paid much attention to his body. In addition, after the filming of the movie in recent months, while he was thinking about the next movie, he and Ding Pei thought, this is life. !”

Lin Zhichao said: "Please help with the funeral arrangements. Golden Harvest Films must give Bruce Lee enough respect. It's up to you!"

"OK"

In this life, Bruce Lee left seven movies, which is much better than the four and a half movies in his previous life.

Lin Zhichao was also thinking whether Bruce Lee was pushed too hastily and therefore only lived nine more months. But he won't feel any guilt about this. Who dares to bet on the unknown.

At least for now, Bruce Lee has left behind seven masterpieces after his death, and his influence is much greater than in his previous life. What is important is that the wealth he left behind after his death is huge, including several million Hong Kong dollars in stock cashing alone. , and then the dividends from the next four movies will be tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and there will be a lot of follow-up income.

I believe that in this life, Bruce Lee’s son will not make the same mistakes again! After all, his death was not a disease, but an accident, so theoretically it would not happen. After all, Mrs. Bruce Lee has now inherited a fortune of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

"Go and make arrangements. The dominance of Golden Harvest Films cannot be shaken by anyone once Bruce Lee dies. What's more, we are also cultivating our own Kung Fu superstars, so there is no need to worry."

"Then I'll make arrangements for Bruce Lee."

"Um"

At the same time in the previous life, Shaw Brothers' movies also had Li Hanxiang and Qu Yuan, so the box office of the movie was more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars; but in this life, Shaw Brothers really only had people like Chang Cheh and Ti Lung, and the box office was only over one million Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, Chang Cheh has also established an independent film company and no longer receives a fixed salary from Shaw Brothers.

Regarding the film industry, Lin Zhichao actually did not interfere with anything, he just selected talents. After all, Hong Kong movies in the 1970s and 1980s were already very brilliant.

After a while, Luo Wenhui, the president of Oriental Newspaper, walked in and reported some work to Lin Zhichao. At present, this newspaper office has a total of one newspaper - "Oriental Daily" and two magazines - "Capitalist" and "Men's Gang", and their development is within the predetermined goals.

"Is FHM releasing a Bruce Lee album?"

"Well, we have organized people early this morning to write Bruce Lee's album, and it will be released in the latest issue of "FHM" tomorrow."

It is not only to commemorate the Kung Fu superstar, but also to continue to make money from Bruce Lee.

After chatting for a while, Luo Wenhui left, and Li Ziduo came to the office again.

"Boss, Bandai in Japan hopes to cooperate with us to win the animation filming rights for "Mobile Suit Gundam" and the distribution of related models in Japan."

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Hey, the Japanese are actually willing to 'condescend' to come to us for cooperation?"

Li Ziduo could see that the boss was ridiculing and proud. He said: "The news of the boss's suicide has just happened in the Japanese toy industry. There is nothing to be proud of. Especially since the Yangtze Toy Factory developed the 'car' in the 1960s." After "Transforming Robots", Hong Kong has begun to take the lead in the technology and production of high-end toys."

It can be said that the toy technology of each era has its watershed: wind-up games in the 1940s and 1950s, battery-powered (motor) toys in the 1960s, and now transforming robots in the 1970s.

The transforming robot adopts a combination of metal mechanical structure and plastic torso, and has very high technical strength. In terms of strength in this area, Yangtze Toy Factory has accumulated considerable scientific research and technology as early as when it was developing the Rubik's Cube.

Lin Zhichao said: "The IP of "Mobile Suit Gundam" is still being cultivated. It will become a very influential brand in the world in the future. In the future, we will also establish a comic production company and have the opportunity to have our own TV station, so we have to be careful. Take advantage."

Li Ziduo asked curiously: "TV station?"

Last year, in order to avoid the monopoly of TVB TV stations, the Hong Kong government decided to add two more TVB TV stations. One of them was naturally Lai's TV station, which changed from paid to free. Jiayi TV Station followed closely and became the third wireless TV station.

During this process, many people believed that the media group would definitely be interested and would even win the third wireless license without any suspense. However, the media group did not bid at all, which was surprising.

"This is for the future!"

"OK"

Lin Zhichao has too many choices. He has a chance to get Jiayi, Li's, and Wireless. After all, it is not a difficult thing. But when he founded the TV station, he must be aiming to change Hong Kong's entertainment culture and lead Hong Kong's cultural industry to the world, so he was not in a hurry.

Li Ziduo then said: "What about the cooperation with Bandai?"

Lin Zhichao said: "What do you think?"

Li Ziduo said: "Currently Gundam's 'One Year War' is still being serialized, but we can choose to cooperate only in the 'One Year War' part. The cartoon can only film the One Year War, and the content cannot be changed. We have to participate in it and In terms of investment and models, Bandai can only represent the products, rather than giving them the opportunity to modify them.”

In short, it means entering the Japanese market. You can get a share of the profits, but you will never be allowed to disrupt subsequent development. Moreover, the various thresholds are set very high. If you want to cooperate, you can cooperate, and if you don't want to, you can get it.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "This really needs to be studied carefully, and you can discuss it carefully. In short, we will also develop the animation industry in the future, and the "Mobile Suit Gundam" IP is one of our core IPs."

"Okay, I will definitely study this cooperation plan seriously."

Even if we don’t enter the Japanese market now, there will still be opportunities in the future, so just treat it as cultivating IP now. If Bandai is serious about cooperating, then it can be considered.

Originally, in Lin Zhichao's mind, he was very happy to take these IPs as his own, regardless of whether they could reach the level of his previous life, or whether they could reach the popularity range of his previous life. Because Japan is not a good thing that can be snatched away, even if it means harming others and not benefiting himself, Lin Zhichao will do it.

Jiahe Film Studio.

After Lin Qingxia finished filming, she was escorted out of the set by Liu Lianghua. When she came outside, she saw a sports car waiting. In fact, the sports car was accompanied by a bodyguard car.

"Qingxia, Lin Sheng is waiting for you, so I won't go up!" Liu Lianghua said with a smile.

In her opinion, Lin Qingxia is very lucky to have a tycoon waiting here. The important thing is that this tycoon is irresistible to women in every aspect.

Lin Qingxia was a little shy. She came to Hong Kong in April to film "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Sister Liu has been her personal protector. Being able to receive this treatment is not due to that man.

"Thank you, Sister Liu"

Lin Qingxia then hurriedly got into the passenger seat of the sports car, and then she received a bouquet of flowers.

"This is for you!"

"Thank you, Brother Chao."

Things are different now. Under Lin Zhichao's offensive, Lin Qingxia has completely accepted this relationship and is deeply involved in it.

Lin Zhichao started the car and said, "How was filming today?"

Lin Qingxia couldn't put it down, holding the flowers and describing today's filming: "It was so hard to shoot today. Wasn't it the shooting of the wedding scene with flowers and candles? The director sang and staggered around the stage and excitedly taught us how to rehearse the scene. It took almost twenty rounds."

"Bridal chamber flowers and candles? This Li Hanxiang is real. I don't know if I'll wait until you experience it before shooting!"

"Brother Chao, what are you talking about!"

Lin Qingxia suddenly became shy. This man was dishonest. In the past, she wanted everyone to be friends and buddies, but she didn't expect that he would take advantage of her the second time. Later, he quickly had to take advantage of her, and almost all of her advantages were taken advantage of. He took it.

"Haha, just kidding!"

Lin Qingxia looked at Lin Zhichao's handsome side glance, exuding the temperament of a mature man, and couldn't help but said: "I think you really think so. After all, there is nothing you dare not think and do!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "You are my girlfriend, it's normal to think so."

"What a beautiful thought! Haha!"

Lin Qingxia laughed proudly on the side.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said nothing, tonight he knew whether he had thought well or not.

The car slowly drove into the wharf of Wharf, and Lin Zhichao took Lin Qingxia onto the small yacht.

"Where to go?" Lin Qingxia asked curiously.

"You'll know soon!" Lin Zhichao held the girl's little hand without touching it too much.

The yacht started immediately, and after a while it reached the depths of the sea, and then stopped at the "Rising Sun" superyacht.

When she boarded the super yacht, Lin Qingxia couldn't believe it.

"Is this a ship?"

"It's a yacht, a super yacht!"

"your?"

"Um"

Immediately, Lin Qingxia rushed towards Lin Zhichao, and was easily picked up by Lin Zhichao.

"Put me down!"

After some fun, Lin Zhichao took Lin Qingxia to visit the super yacht. It requires forty or fifty people to start up once, not including waiters and bodyguards.

Of course, even if it is not started, these people will be supported, but some people can work in the company.

The superyacht sailed into Victoria Harbor again. Lin Zhichao and Lin Qingxia sat around the dining table on the deck, enjoying the food while admiring the prosperity on both sides of Victoria Harbor.

At this time, Hong Kong has been promoted to a metropolis, especially the lights of the Central office buildings, which symbolize the busy rhythm.

"When this movie is finished, I'm wondering what tricks you are going to use to get me to come to Hong Kong?" Lin Qingxia said slyly.

She is not stupid. The man who filmed "A Dream of Red Mansions" wanted to lure her to Hong Kong.

"It's all just routines, but it's better than you shooting Qiong Yao's movie!"

Lin Qingxia suddenly said unhappily: "What's wrong with Aunt Qiong Yao's movie? The box office of "Clouds Piao Piao Piao" has exceeded NT$4 million. I heard that there is still a chance to win an award."

Lin Zhichao said: "I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying that Hong Kong commercial films are completely better than Taiwanese films. One is at the Asian level and the other is at the Taiwanese level. In fact, if you follow me now, you don't have to film or anything!"

Lin Qingxia immediately said: "No, I still want to shoot, why shouldn't I be afraid? The relationship between us is not clear yet!"

This man is married, of course it is not clear. And she thought that if her parents knew about her, they would not dare to face it.

So, I still use filming to cover up these things.

"OK, I won't interfere with your thoughts!"

"That's pretty much it!"

After a while, the two of them had almost eaten, and they came to the railing of the yacht and had a romantic relationship.

Lin Qingxia drank some red wine this evening, which looked particularly attractive under the breeze.

This woman is almost twenty years old, you have to hurry up!

"Brother Chao, are we developing too fast? I'm so worried that you are lying to me!" Lin Qingxia said worriedly.

This man is so outstanding and so rich, is he just playing with himself?

This is Lin Qingxia's worry.

"I won't lie to you, I fell in love with you at first sight." A love message was output.

Later, Lin Zhichao carried Lin Qingxia towards the bedroom, during which Lin Qingxia did not resist.

The next day.

Lin Zhichao gave "A Dream of Red Mansions" a day off as the heroine was inconvenienced today.

It happened to be another Saturday, the super yacht was docked on the sea, and Lin Zhichao and Lin Qingxia were on vacation.

On the deck, the two of them were wearing cool clothes, hugging each other and lying on the chairs, making love to each other.

"Brother Chao, yesterday you said you would try every possible means to get me, please tell me what were your premeditated plans!"

Lin Qingxia feels more beautiful when she is in love, and the tenderness in her eyes can reach deep into a man's heart.

This woman is really a super beauty who is domineering, gentle, heroic, and beautiful all in one!

Seeing the nineteen-year-old Lin Qingxia, youthful, beautiful and beautiful, he was in a particularly good mood.

"I just fell in love with you at one glance on the cinema screen, and then I planned everything else."

"You are so scheming, so scared!"

Lin Qingxia wanted to stand up and protest!

Lin Zhichao immediately pulled her into his arms again and said easily: "Then tell me, if you were me, how should I chase you?"

Lin Qingxia was not really angry, so she thought about it seriously and then said: "You should come to Taiwan and approach me proactively. You are still very charming, and I might like you!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "I really thought about it!"

"Then why not do this? Now that you are doing this, it makes me feel that you are too powerful, and I feel like a girl who is being played with." After saying this, she felt a little aggrieved.

Woman, you are so unreasonable.

Lin Zhichao said: "I'm worried about my identity. Taiwan and Island are my restricted area for the time being."

Lin Qingxia quickly sealed Lin Zhichao's mouth with her hands and said, "Brother Chao, I was wrong!"

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished."
