Chapter 1026 Arrive in Xiangjiang

Fang Chen shrugged, looking a little helpless. Although it was easy for him to make money, the money didn't come from strong winds. How could he give it away casually?

There is no other way to make such a choice. You should buy horse bones with thousands of gold, or there must be a brave man under the heavy reward.

Logically speaking, it is a very gratifying thing that he is willing to invest money to become a shareholder and help corresponding companies or scientific research institutes develop new technologies. The other party will not say anything about it, but it is welcome, but it should not be in vain.

Go whoring.

But there are always people who look down on the money, or are reluctant to part with the shares, and they want others to help them come up with these new technologies. Naturally, they have to spend more money, offer some conditions that are more beneficial to the other party, and pay a premium to stimulate them.

the other person’s interest.

After all, for him, solving the domestic problems of movements and laser heads, mastering the core technology manufacturing capabilities, not being manipulated by Philips and Sony, not losing in the brutal competition with foreign companies, so that he can compete with each other.

The armor and sword are the most important.

The little money he gave away was nothing compared to these. Besides, since the movement and laser head are domestically produced, the cost of Qingtian's products will naturally be lower. After all, it is

Favorable.

In addition, he has always believed that it is a hundred times better for domestic enterprises and Chinese people to make money than it is for foreigners to make money.

Therefore, no matter how he does this business, he will not suffer losses, and this kind of free allocation of funds to upstream companies and scientific research institutes has been done by Intel, Apple, Google, and even Huawei, and many of them have been done.

As for the development of some technologies, the progress of the world depends on it. Fang Chen is not the first, nor is he the last.

"An outstanding company should always be generous and not care about everything." Fang Chen said with some self-deprecation.

At this time, Fang Chen felt a little helpless and a little heavy. After this incident, he realized one thing more clearly, what is meant by a flower blooming alone is not spring, and a hundred flowers blooming together fill the garden.

Qingtian believes that he is doing well, whether it is business revenue, wages of company employees, contributions to the country and society, and promotion of China's scientific and technological progress.

But why I still feel a deep sense of powerlessness is because the development of modern science and technology, enterprise R&D and production, rely on too many upstream and downstream links, and if any link is stuck, big problems will occur.

This means that if he wants to go smoothly and eliminate this feeling of powerlessness, there is only one way to go, and that is to master the production and research and development capabilities of the entire industry chain. At the very least, he must ensure that he has the entire industry chain in China.

Only production and R&D capabilities are required.

Seeing that Fang Chen insisted on doing this, Jin Zhijiang and Huang Yihe nodded silently, without any intention of speaking out to admonish.

In Qingtian, President Fang’s decision is the final decision, and this is the consensus of all Qingtian people.

"I look forward to news of your victory."

After leaving such words, Fang Chen rushed to Xiangjiang.

The first impression when arriving in Hong Kong is naturally that it is developed, with towering skyscrapers, crowded streets, bustling and noisy streets, and densely packed signboards on various commercial streets that can almost block out the sky and the sun, even in the windows on both sides of the shops.

, a dazzling array of products, and some explicit promotional posters all remind us of the vast differences between this place and the mainland.

The eyes of Wu Maocai and others were somewhat straightened. It is not that they have never been to those developed capitalist countries, but Xiangjiang has a special meaning to them and to the majority of Chinese people, and the mixed Chinese and English atmosphere of Xiangjiang always makes people feel uncomfortable.

It's easier for them to understand and get closer to us than in the United States.

At least, according to Wu Maocai, those Hong Kong girls are prettier than American girls.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiangjiang has been China's window to the outside world. For a long time, this window could even be called the only one.

But for Fang Chen, Xiangjiang was of little interest. Although Xiangjiang was already one of the internationally renowned metropolises and financial centers at this time, for Fang Chen, who had seen the prosperity of Yanjing and Shanghai in later generations,

, Xiangjiang at this time is really not good enough.

Even now when Fang Chen recalls it, there is not much change between Xiangjiang at this time and Xiangjiang more than 20 years later, so Fang Chen feels like he is watching history, full of weight and oldness, or perhaps

To be precise, it's like watching a Hong Kong movie from the 1990s.

For the vast majority of mainland Chinese, Xiangjiang is "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Ashes of Time", "East Comes West", "New Shanghai", "God of Gamblers", "A Chinese Journey to the West",

It's "The King of Comedy", it's "Infernal Affairs", it's "Police Story", it's "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon"...

It's Leslie Cheung, it's Andy Lau, it's Chow Yun-fat, it's Stephen Chow, it's Tony Leung, it's Jackie Chan, it's Tony Leung Ka Fai, it's Brigitte Lin, it's Maggie Cheung, it's Joey Wong, it's Anita Mui...

It’s Wong Kar-Wai, it’s Lau Chun-wai, it’s Tsui Hark, it’s Wong Jing, it’s Lau Wai-keung…

These carry almost ten years of our memories.

"Mr. Fang, you don't seem to like Xiangjiang very much?" Guo Kongcheng, who was sitting aside, asked cautiously.

As the head of the third generation of the Guo family and the future head of the Guo family, he will naturally not be so cautious and obedient, but after all, he must consider who he is facing.

Fang Chen, the richest man in China and Russia with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, unexpectedly bet on Clinton and became a popular figure in the US President's chair, and deserves to be treated like this.

Even if Fang Chen hadn't come to try his best to stop him, even his father Guo Henian would have personally come to the airport to greet Fang Chen.

The reason why his father didn't come to greet Fang Chen last year was probably because Fang Chen was not qualified at that time.

Fang Chen’s net worth of two to three billion US dollars is indeed very good, and he can be called the top rich man in the world. But for someone like the Guo family who has been the richest man in Malaysia thirty years ago, he has great influence in Malaysia and even the entire Chinese community.

For an influential family, this is really not enough.

The main reason why Fang Chen was given such high courtesy at that time was because of Fang Chen's network and status in China and Russia, as well as his innate friendliness towards people from his mother country as a Chinese, and because he was optimistic about Fang Chen's potential.

After all, they are both Chinese. If Fang Chen becomes more powerful, it will be a great good thing for the entire Chinese community, the Chinese wealthy community, and the Guo family. Lowering your attitude and treating Fang Chen with a more friendly attitude can be considered as the question.

As it should be.

Being in this world and far away from China, they can better feel the sense of cohesion and identity brought by blood, skin color, and culture, and they can better face the mutual confrontation with other races, blood, and cultures, and they are more able to face it.

It's easy to join a group to stay warm.

Of course, it does not rule out that many people forget their ancestors, even hate their own skin color and culture, and desperately want to integrate into a foreign country.

But everything is different this year. Not only has Fang Chen's influence further expanded, but he has also established a relationship with the President of the United States. His net worth has reached tens of billions of dollars. His company has also developed rapidly, with revenue last year reaching five billion U.S. dollars.

However, the most important thing is Qingtian's development speed. If you calculate it, Qingtian's growth rate last year basically reached 300%. This is a terrifying number.

However, the most important thing is that Qingtian has maintained this growth rate for three consecutive years. If nothing else happens, Qingtian will not be able to achieve such a high growth rate this year, or even only one-fifth of this growth rate.

It will definitely become one of the top 500 companies in the world.

At that time, Qingtian had only been established for five years. It can be said that Qingtian was the youngest company on the Fortune 500 list in the history.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Guo family is powerful, it is no longer enough in front of Fang Chen. At least he, the nominal head of the third generation, has no qualifications to win in front of Fang Chen.

After all, in real terms, the entire Guo family is only worth tens of billions of dollars, which is comparable to Fang Chen's current worth. As the head of the family, Guo Henian is only worth more than five billion dollars, which is already weaker than Fang Chen.

Glancing outside at the huge "East to West" poster, Fang Chen said perfunctorily: "Mr. Kong is joking, how could I hate Xiangjiang? It's just my first time here, and some country bumpkins come to the city to look at them.

.”

Like almost all Chinese people, he had deep feelings for Xiangjiang. The luxury and prosperity of Xiangjiang, the movies of Xiangjiang, the beauties of Xiangjiang, and even the land of Xiangjiang were so fascinating, as if Xiangjiang was the brightest place in China.

Like a pearl, sparkling and dazzling.

But now, it's not that he doesn't love it anymore, it just means that he doesn't like it so much. Maybe it's because he has seen more prosperity, or because of other reasons. For him, Xiangjiang now is more of a piece of history.

, a memory, just like the poster of "East Comes West" in front of me.

On this huge poster, Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Ip Yuqing and others stand side by side. This is probably one of the most luxurious films in Hong Kong film history.

As far as the star cast is concerned, the only one that can really surpass them is "The Banquet", a comedy film made in 1991 by many popular Hong Kong movie stars to raise funds to help the mainland floods. This film almost brought together all the people in Hong Kong at that time.

Almost all popular stars, there are as many as forty.

And what's interesting is that "The Way We Go" and "Ashes of Time" are sister dramas. Originally, Wong Kar-wai and Liu Chunwei discussed that Wong Kar-wai would shoot the first "The Way of the Road" and Liu Zhenwei would shoot the second "Ashes of Time".

"Western Poison", but a month has passed since the start of construction, and Wong Kar-wai is still filming the scene on the day of the launch. He plans to make it into an art film, which is contrary to the wishes of the investors.

Isn’t this a trick on my teammates? How can I make an art film that sells at the box office? And the task is due in twenty-seven days, so I will definitely not be able to complete it.

So Liu Zhenwei used these twenty-seven days to complete a commercial masterpiece "East and West" to remedy the consequences of his good friend Wong Kar-wai's impulsiveness.

After the box-office success of "The Last Day", Liu Chunwei used the money earned from "The Last Day" to support the filming of Wong Kar-wai's "Ashes of Time".

And you need to know that although "The Last Day" was released in February 1993, and "Ashes of Time" was released in 1994, they were actually filmed in 1992, and both used the same actors.

The equipment has been contracted with the crew in Xiangjiang, so for a period of time, they are members of the crew, and they are not allowed to participate in the show, let alone face-picking or thinking about 123456.

This is also the reason why the cast of these two movies are almost the same.

This can be regarded as a hardship for Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung and others. These actors laughed and laughed during the day while filming East and West, and suffered deeply at night while filming Ashes of Time. They were almost driven to the point of becoming insane.

However, although "The Last Day" had a profound influence on comedy films and was a box office hit at the time, the real king of Hong Kong movies at this time was Stephen Chow.

Last year was known as the Year of Stephen Chow. Among the top 15 grossing films of the year, Stephen Chow accounted for seven of them, and the top five were taken by Stephen Chow, including "The Trial of the Dead", "A Happy Event in the Family", "The Deer and the Cauldron", and "The Greatest Warrior".

"Children", "The Deer and the Cauldron II: The Cult of the Dragon", and other familiar movies were all aired in this year.

And Stephen Chow has completely dominated the Hong Kong market for the third consecutive year, and even won the Best Actor Award at the Asia Pacific Film Festival for "The Inquisitor".

However, the legend continued in 1993. At this time, the only one who could defeat Stephen Chow was himself. With "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", Stephen Chow still topped the box office rankings in 1993.

Seeing that Fang Chen was unwilling to say anything, Guo Kongcheng wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed and held back his words.

But the next moment, he had an idea and said to Fang Chen: "If Mr. Fang likes the celebrity above, I can invite one or two of them over for Mr. Fang..."

Having said this, Guo Kongcheng paused for a moment, glanced at the poster, and then continued: "It's okay even if everyone is invited."

Guo Kongcheng's voice embodies strong confidence.

Although the Guo family has roots in Malaysia, they came to Xiangjiang in the 1970s. They are just used to keeping a low profile, so they don't show off much.

But in fact, some people have always called the Guo family the fifth largest family after the four major families in Xiangjiang. It is not difficult to invite a few celebrities to come over to help Fang Chen.

Fang Chen smiled slightly, shook his head and refused: "I appreciate Mr. Guo's kindness. You don't have to work so hard. If you can, just ask for some autographed photos of Hong Kong stars for me. My girlfriend likes these."

Hearing the first half of Fang Chen's words, Guo Kongcheng felt gloomy. Although he shouldn't have, he felt that Fang Chen was a lot alienated from the Guo family, otherwise he wouldn't have refused everywhere and showed his displeasure towards Xiangjiang. This was important to him at this time.

For the Guo family who are eager to win Fang Chen's favor and deepen their relationship with Fang Chen, this is definitely not a good thing.
