Hello 1983

This is the first time the China Dream was shown to the world, and it aroused great interest from the reporters.

The reason why the American dream is alluring is that it already has countless precedents.

The reporter who asked the question was somewhat disdainful: "Mr. Mountain, do you think the two can be juxtaposed? You know, this is the most developed country, free and democratic, and everyone has their own opportunities."

"But your motherland is still a backward developing country."

The reporter's intentions are obvious. The China Dream is not worthy to be compared with the American Dream.

Liu Qingshan didn't argue with him, he had a confident smile on his face: "Then let time tell."

After the interview was over, Xiao Zhang and Lao Yang were still wiping away their sweat with handkerchiefs in a commercial vehicle.

In fact, in the past two years, the number of people using handkerchiefs as a daily necessities has gradually decreased. Liu Qingshan knows that, together with many other items, it has gradually withdrawn from people's lives and vision.

Lao Yang sighed: "These reporters' questions are too tricky."

"It's okay, just get used to it." Liu Qingshan comforted the two with a smile.

In contrast, Gao Lingfeng is much calmer. He leads a team to visit various countries, and accepting interviews is commonplace, as expected, it is just a habit.

But now, Gao Lingfeng sat in the car relatively silently. He thought for a long time before asking Liu Qingshan:

"Qingshan, what exactly is the Chinese dream you mentioned, can we realize it?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "The country is prosperous and the people are happy. Brother Gao, aren't we on this road?"

Gao Lingfeng nodded vigorously, and his belief in his heart became firmer.

The commercial vehicle that Liu Qingshan and the others took parked directly in front of the building of Columbia Film Company.

Above the building, there is a huge company name "CBC Films Sales", as well as the iconic Logo, the goddess holding a torch, and the torch in her hand is shining brightly.

The original shape of this Logo is Athena, which was originally shaped as holding a shield and an olive branch, and then gradually evolved into the goddess of the torch.

Moreover, the actual prototype of the goddess has been changed many times. The version that the public is familiar with later is the version in [-], which has not yet appeared.

Gao Lingfeng also looked up and muttered, "Perhaps we should replace it with a Chinese woman. I think Nuwa is more suitable."

Liu Qingshan also nodded with a smile: "Maybe we can try it in the future. Now that we have just started, we should focus on maintaining stability."

So I went up the stairs and entered the hall through the revolving door, and immediately a receptionist greeted me: "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

The receptionist was a young woman in business attire, and looked at Liu Qingshan curiously, as if she looked a little familiar.

Liu Qingshan shook his head, he really didn't have an appointment.

The receptionist still admired Liu Qingshan's handsome appearance, so he was very polite: "Then sir, can I help you with anything?"

"I'm looking for your CEO, Mr. Chambers. By the way, I'm Liu Qingshan, and my English name is Mountain."

Liu Qingshan is quite satisfied with the work of this receptionist.

"Mr. Chambers is busy. If you don't have an appointment... Oh, you are Mr. Mountain!"

The receptionist suddenly covered her mouth in surprise, and she finally remembered who Mr. Mountain was, and he was the big boss of the company.

Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "This is really the first time I have come to my company."

9 Chapter [-] This trip is really worthwhile!

Columbia Pictures, in the office of Chambers, the new CEO, Liu Qingshan was sitting and chatting with Chambers.

"Boss, thank you for your trust." Chambers poured Liu Qingshan a cup of coffee with his own hands.

Looking at the young and heroic face of the boss, Chambers was really grateful.

He turned from a small company owner who was about to go bankrupt to the president of one of the six major Hollywood film companies. All this is like a dream.

"Chambers, this is the result of your hard work." Liu Qingshan gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon.

He also trusted Chambers, and the two met at a young age, and made Hurricane Film and Television bigger and stronger along the way.

As for the Hurricane Film and Television Company, of course, it was also merged into Columbia Pictures and became the most important subsidiary.

"Boss, the movie Forrest Gump is scheduled to be released in three days. It's just, just..." Chambers hesitated to speak.

"Is there any problem?" Liu Qingshan stopped his hands.

Chambers crossed his hands and kept stirring: "We invited some film critics and held a small viewing meeting internally, and everyone's response was relatively average."

More than average, more than half of the film critics gave negative reviews, but Chambers was embarrassed to say it in front of Liu Qingshan.

After all, this is a big production of the company, and it has been filmed in various places, and the investment is quite large. Chambers is a little worried that this film will become the Waterloo of Hurricane Video.

If you use the allusions of ancient China, it is equivalent to going to Maicheng.

"Why?" Liu Qingshan was a little puzzled. In his memory, Forrest Gump was considered a classic, earning [-] million box office worldwide.

In the selection of the Oscars, it also became the biggest winner, and it was applauded and acclaimed.

Chambers thought about it, pointed to his own brain, and said euphemistically: "The main reason is that everyone thinks that Forrest Gump's IQ is a little problematic. Using such a character as a representative of the American dream will affect the image a bit."

In the movie, Forrest Gump's IQ is lower than ordinary people.

Liu Qingshan also fell into deep thought: It seems that foreigners are quite picky when choosing their image spokespersons.

But this will certainly not affect this movie becoming a classic, and it is even more willing to be accepted by the general public:

Even Forrest Gump can become a successful person, why can't I?

Before this broad consensus was reached, it's entirely understandable that the film received some flak.

And maybe, you can use this matter to make a fuss, for example, make a bet or something?

In Liu Qingshan's mind, the face of Looney Rockefeller popped up: Maybe, they are eager to get back their position now, why not give them a chance?

The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door, and then they saw Xiao Li rushing in, bluffing:

"Oh, Liu, you are finally willing to see me!"

Liu Qingshan hugged him a little disgusted: "Don't talk so nasty, okay?"

Xiao Li didn't care at all: "Liu, we're in trouble. The outside world doesn't think well of Forrest Gump's movie. Will we lose money this time?"

The filming cost of this film has reached more than 5000 million. Only when the box office exceeds [-] million can there be a possibility of repaying the cost, so Xiao Li's worry is not unreasonable.

For example, a large company like Columbia Pictures produces about a dozen movies a year.

But if it can really sell well, it’s not bad if it can produce a movie. Usually, it’s not bad to produce a big-selling movie in a few years.

"Li, calm down, you look like your husband waiting outside the delivery room, you are really anxious."

Liu Qingshan was teasing, and gradually had a plan in his mind: "Li, Chambers, I think we need to hold a press conference to promote the movie Forrest Gump."

Chambers is a little confused: the publicity that should be done has already been done.

It was because Xiao Li and Liu Qingshan had been together for a long time and had a better understanding of Chinese culture: "Liu, do you mean that you don't usually burn incense and hug Buddha's feet temporarily?"

"Improved." Liu Qingshan nodded, boasting that Xiao Li only had a wry smile on his face: You are the boss and you have the final say.

Chambers thought the same way. He knew that Liu Qingshan was quite influential here, and might really play a certain role in publicity, so he decided to deploy this matter.

At this time, Liu Yinfeng also rushed over after hearing the news. She took Liu Qingshan's hand and looked him up and down: "It's a bit sunburned."

"Boys are not so delicate." Liu Qingshan comforted the second sister with a smile.

Liu Yinfeng also knew from the phone that her mother and the dumb grandfather had formed a new family, but now that outsiders were present, it was inconvenient to ask, so she reported to the official business.

The biggest investment now is the plan on Maozi's side, involving billions of dollars.

Under the auspices of Liu Yinfeng, nearly a hundred assistants were sent to Katyusha's side, making Katyusha's business quickly spread in the Far East.

As for the acquisition of marketable bonds from ordinary people, it has just started.

Because the depreciation of bonds requires a process. In theory, it is the best time to buy them when they become waste paper.

However, because Katyusha Commercial Bank has stepped in and become a strong competitor, this has also changed. The depreciation of the bonds is not too serious now, and it is still kept within one or two percent.

"We don't stretch our hands too far. We limit ourselves to Siberia and the Far East. The main target is the resources here. Oil and gas resources and mineral resources are the focus of our attention."

Liu Qingshan knew that Maozi's land area was too big, no one could take it all to himself, the best choice was to share the cake with everyone in harmony.

Xiao Li's family also participated in this matter and provided a lot of help, which allowed Katyusha Trading Company to develop smoothly there without suffering from those outside tricks.

Otherwise, the capital on the US side will definitely unite with the oligarchs on Maozi's side to carry out joint suppression.

After chatting about business for a while, Liu Qingshan took Li Tie and Vera, and followed the second sister back to the apartment. As for Gao Lingfeng and others, Chambers was naturally responsible for the arrangements.

Sitting in Liu Yinfeng's car, Liu Yinfeng couldn't wait to ask while driving: "Sanfeng, is everything okay at home?"

"Everything is fine. Grandpa, grandma, and grandpa are all in good shape. My mother and my master are also very kind. The fourth and fifth children are all living happily."

Liu Qingshan gave a general introduction first, and Liu Yinfeng nodded with a relieved smile on his face.

Liu Qingshan was sitting on the co-driver, looking at the delicate side face of the second sister, and muttered in his mouth: "Sister, you have been here in the United States for many years, and you haven't found someone you like?"

Liu Yinfeng's face was slightly flushed: "Don't interrupt, I'm driving."

Well, Liu Qingshan chatted about homework again, and Liu Yinfeng listened carefully, not blaming her younger brother for affecting her driving.

Back at the second sister's apartment, Grace saw Liu Qingshan, with a sweet smile on her face: "The boss is here, and my assistant finally has a job again."

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I have already hired a new assistant, this is Vera, Tiezi's girlfriend."

Let me introduce Vera to everyone. As for Li Tie, they are all old acquaintances.

"You took my job away." Grace held Vera's hand with a very affectionate look.

Liu Qingshan snorted: "Vera, don't be fooled by her, she is a princess of the royal family, the one with a very high inheritance right."

Grace showed a look of disappointment on her face: "Since the boss has found a new assistant, it's time for me to go back to China."

In fact, Grace's studies had ended last year, but she preferred the free life here, and she was reluctant to part with her friend Liu Yinfeng, so she discussed with the family and postponed it for another year.

But now, she has to go back to China, because she has reached the age of marriage.

Liu Qingshan also had a general understanding of Grace's situation: "Grace, bless you, if you are really unhappy, you can come back at any time and continue to be my assistant. I will definitely not deduct your salary."

Grace nodded: her position and some things are not something she can decide by herself.

While enjoying the glory brought by the royal family, they also have their own responsibilities.

This is luck, but also misfortune.

It's hard to bring this kind of thing to the public, so it passed quickly, and Grace brought a surprise to Liu Qingshan:

She is also planning to join Liu Qingshan's project and inject one billion US dollars into it.

Obviously, Grace couldn't afford so much money, and she represented the family behind her.

Liu Qingshan was worried about not having enough money, of course the more the better, so he obviously agreed.

He reached out his hand and shook hands with Grace: "Congratulations, you have now been promoted from an assistant to a partner."

Grace also joked with a smile: "Liu, then should we celebrate, I miss your cooking skills very much."

Liu Qingshan followed the good advice and cooked the kitchen himself, making a large table of dishes.

When Grace ate a piece of crystal sweet and sour meat, she finally couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

If she was asked to choose, she believed in herself and would definitely choose Liu Qingshan as her partner, but there are no ifs in this world.

Of course Liu Yinfeng understood what her friend was thinking, but she also had no choice.

As for Liu Qingshan, he now has a beloved wife, and his wife is giving birth to their new life, so he will not cause trouble, let all this become the best memory in his heart.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan led Li Tie and Wei La to the house of his aunt and grandma. It was still Liu Yinfeng who drove all the way to the villa.

"cousin!"

Du Jiaxing was returning with a rugby in his arms, and met him at the gate of the villa. The kid immediately threw the rugby excitedly, and then threw himself into Liu Qingshan's arms.

Children just grow up fast, and Du Jiaxing has already reached Liu Qingshan's shoulders.

"Your body is not strong enough to play rugby." Liu Qingshan rubbed his head.

"I'm very good, because I know kung fu!" Du Jiaxing flexed his arms and showed his muscles, basically the same as before.

Talking and laughing into the villa, Grandpa Du and Auntie Du were already standing at the door, smiling.

That night, Liu Qingshan and the others stayed here.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan went to the Columbia Film Company's new film conference.

Dozens of journalists came here, on the one hand to save face for Columbia Corporation, and on the other hand, they also came rushing to Liu Qingshan.
