Break out of the courtyard
Chapter 586: The Antique Fever
Chen Shuting, who was smiling but not saying anything, waited until Shen Bi got into the car and left before asking Zhang Heping, "Husband, don't you want Wei Daban to be the chairman?"
"No!" Zhang Heping watched Shen Bi's car turn around and go down the mountain, then turned around and walked towards the community. "Chairman Shen and Manager Wei can work together to save us a lot of trouble in the next few years. If Manager Wei becomes the chairman, who will be the manager of Huifeng Bank?"
"If the new boss doesn't meet our expectations, we will definitely exercise our power as a major shareholder to replace him for the sake of our real estate business in Japan. But will the Eagles agree? Will the other shareholders agree?"
Chen Shuting smiled and said, "If they don't agree, we will buy another 6% of Huifeng Bank's shares, directly control Huifeng Bank, and replace all the management with our people."
Zhang Heping's face darkened. "If we really do this, the Magnesium people will sanction Huifeng Bank!"
The current situation of Peace Group is somewhat delicate. The US has imposed sanctions on Peace Group, but only South Korea, India and the Philippines have responded. Europe, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore have only verbally agreed to the sanctions, and have not actually intercepted Peace Group's products because it is meaningless.
After the Peace Group closed all Dior image stores overseas, foreigners realized a problem: no matter how much they tried to stop the Peace Group's products, there were still products of the Peace Group being smuggled into their country.
The key point is that their obstruction actually drove up the prices of those products.
The reason, of course, is that Heping Group's products have good quality.
Products like tiger penis wine and Viagra delay spray have immediate effects. Even Tingmei slimming tea, Taitai oral liquid and Dior daily chemical products can show results in a month.
The reason why its situation is delicate is that the Peace Group is registered in the Cayman Islands and has its account in Huifeng Bank, which is beyond the control of the mainland. The Eagle Americans are trying to get Zhang Heping's family to immigrate, and the Magnesium Americans want to intervene but dare not send troops due to their relationship with the mainland, and their empty talk cannot scare the Peace Group.
Didn’t you see that Peace Group has withdrawn its overseas stores and is only selling in Hong Kong Island, and it hasn’t been affected much?
As for the Malaysians, they sent troops to capture Cayman and then deal with the Peace Group.
It seems that doing so can only cancel the name of Heping Group, but will not affect Heping Group's transfer of all money from Huifeng Bank to Bank of China.
If we wait for UnionPay to be established in Hong Kong, we can use electronic transactions to transfer money across banks in the future, and we won’t have to worry about sanctions from the Taiwanese.
Therefore, Zhang Heping thought again and again, and finally decided to leave the Hong Kong Island Bank Card Joint Organization to the Hong Kong Island banks to hold meetings and discuss on their own. He only sold software and hardware maintenance, and did not take the commission from bank card transfers. He just hoped that they would act faster.
...
While the Zhang family was having lunch, Director Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan sat in a tea restaurant on the third floor of Peace Square. They ate barbecued pork rice while listening to the conversation of a few young people at the next table.
"Gold in troubled times, collectibles in prosperous times! I think now is a great time to collect antiques!"
"Come on! Watching a tomb-robbing movie makes you want to collect antiques. Do you have that much money?"
"I heard that the cost of living in the mainland is very low. A lunch like ours costs no more than 3 yuan!"
"10 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 3 RMB. Are you sure you can eat a pork knuckle rice for 3 RMB?"
"It's not a pork knuckle rice, but my meal and yours together, this meal would not cost more than 3 yuan in a restaurant in the mainland."
"So cheap? Are you sure?"
"If we want to confirm this kind of thing, why don't we go to Shencheng this afternoon and ask, and then we'll know whether it's true or not?"
"I ask, if you are sure that the consumption level in the mainland is low, would you go to Panjiayuan in the capital to pick up bargains?"
When they heard the words "Panjiayuan, the capital", Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan looked at each other and felt a little strange.
They also attended the New Year's Eve party last night. Since they didn't know many people there, they took a closer look at the movie Ghost Blows Out the Light on the projection screen.
So Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan guessed that the people at the next table must have gone to the cinema on the 5th floor to watch the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light", which gave them the idea of going to the mainland to pick up antiques and then resell them to make money.
Liu Yuan came close to Director Wang and whispered, "I feel that this Ghost Blows Out the Light movie funded by Zhang Heping will stimulate some people to rob tombs!"
"It's hard to say!" Director Wang responded in a low voice: "I heard that Liulichang and Panjiayuan have been checked several times, and most of the things there are fakes. After these hot-headed young people went to the capital and got cheated once, they probably won't go there again."
Liu Yuan said seriously: "I think this matter needs to be reported to the relevant departments for their attention."
"After you go back, write an anonymous letter to remind the relevant departments not to use our department's reporting channel. This matter is not our business."
While Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan were whispering here, the people at the next table had already discussed the investment ratio and made an appointment to go to Shenzhen in the afternoon.
...
In the afternoon, Miss Suzuki got a pot of Clivia with red flowers and was about to visit the Zhang family, but she was informed by the intelligence personnel in Hong Kong that the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light" invested and filmed by Zhang Heping involved the secret fortress of the Kwantung Army!
For this reason, Miss Suzuki had to go to the cinema and watch the tomb-raiding movie in its entirety, which she had only glanced at the previous night, and then analyze whether Zhang Heping had an anti-Japanese complex.
After watching the movie, she received a call from Toudou, Japan, asking her to confirm whether the secret fortress of the Kwantung Army in the movie Ghost Blows Out the Light was true or false!
This order gave Miss Suzuki a bad feeling. What if the secret fortress of the Kwantung Army was filmed on location? Judging from the anxious tone of the Japanese Toudou, there might be a lot of shameful information in it!
Regarding the question of whether the Kwantung Army's secret fortress was real or fake, Miss Suzuki did not foolishly run to ask Zhang Heping, but sent someone to ATV to inquire. As a result, she was told that it was a commercial secret and she could not tell anyone!
By the way, the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was released simultaneously in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Xinniu, Thailand, Huadu and other places.
Therefore, not only were people in the Eastern Capital of Japan questioning the authenticity of the Kwantung Army's secret fortress, but even people in the capital of the mainland were asking about its authenticity.
Zhang Heping never thought about the derivative issues after the broadcast of the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie!
In this age when people take qigong, special abilities and aliens seriously, "Ghost Blows Out the Light", a movie that spent huge amounts of money to shoot on real scenes and a movie that is very close to the real timeline, has made many viewers believe it and think that the movie is based on a true story.
At night, when Zhang Heping was watching the movie Ghost Blows Out the Light at home with his wife and children, the children kept asking if this was true or if that was true.
The Zhang family had Zhang Heping explain that the Ghost Blows Out the Light story was fictional, but others were not so lucky.
...
Wednesday morning, January 1nd.
The people of Hong Kong Island, who thought they had discovered the code to wealth, took trains and planes to the mainland, and there were also some foreigners among them.
At noon that day, the brothers Lou Wenru and Lou Wenjun returned to the capital and found the small restaurant opened by Lou Xiaoe in Qianmen through the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
When Lou Xiao'e applied for a self-employed business license at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, she thought about registering under her mother's or her son's name.
However, her mother was still in Hong Kong Island at the time and her son was a minor, so she could only hope for the best and register under her own name.
"We didn't come back to ask you for this house!" Seeing that the smile on the third sister's face was very forced, Lou Wenru said straight to the point: "We came back this time to buy some antique paintings and porcelain, and stay here for a few days."
"Brother, is your business going well?" When Lou Xiao'e heard that they were not here to rob the house, she smiled more naturally. "What calligraphy and paintings are you going to buy? Do you want me to accompany you this afternoon?" "The factory is still not doing well!" The eldest brother Lou Wenru shook his head and said, "We came back this time just to sell a few antiques in Hong Kong Island. If things go well, we will sell the factory and concentrate on the antique business."
"Antique business?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment. It's not like she had never come into contact with antiques before.
Back in the day, when the Lou family was still prosperous, there were several underground secret rooms in the house filled with antiques.
But I donated it later, but unfortunately it didn’t go as smoothly as I wanted.
"Xiao'e, prepare food for us first!" said the second son, Lou Wenjun, and he chose an empty table and glanced at the diners around him.
"Okay, wait for me a moment!" Lou Xiao'e said, and walked towards the kitchen.
When she came out again, she was already holding two plates of dishes ordered by other tables, and she gave them to her brother first.
"Xiao Xin, bring a bottle of Moutai over here!" Lou Xiao'e shouted towards the counter, and then Zhang Cuishan and Lou Xiao'e's son Zhang Xin poked their heads out from behind the counter.
When Zhang Xin came over with a martial arts novel in his left hand and a bottle of Moutai in his right hand, Lou Xiao'e introduced him to her two brothers with a smile: "This is Zhang Xin, my eldest son."
"Zhang Xin, this is my eldest uncle, and this is my second uncle."
"Oh!" Zhang Xin responded, then flipped through his martial arts novel and went behind the counter.
The two brothers Lou Wenru and Lou Wenjun frowned and looked at each other, suppressed their unhappiness, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Lou Xiao'e stood up and fetched two cups. While pouring wine for her two brothers, she asked, "Brother, why did you want to do antique business? There are many tricks involved, and it's not easy to get into this business."
"Humph!" Lou Wenjun glanced at the empty counter and sneered, "Speaking of which, we have to thank your eldest son Zhang Xin's uncle Zhang Heping! If he hadn't invested 1 million Hong Kong dollars to make a tomb-robbing movie, we wouldn't have thought of this business!"
"Zhang Heping? Investing 1 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie?" Lou Xiao'e only heard the money and muttered to herself: "How much money did he make? He actually spent 1 million to make a movie!"
Lou Wenru said: "I don't know how much money he made, but no one dares to compete with him for the position of the richest man in Hong Kong Island!"
"Who would have thought that Zhang Heping was just a worthless civilian 20 years ago!" Lou Wenjun's tone was a little sour.
The three of them were silent for a while, and Lou Xiao'e finally realized and asked, "Second brother, what movie were you talking about?"
"Ghost Blows Out the Light!" Lou Wenjun said with disdain, "This movie is about two poor people who want to get rich and go to the Beimeng village where they went to the countryside to collect antique porcelain for burial. As a result, they find that the archaeological team has gone to the village before them and took away all the antiques."
"Then, they thought of a secret fortress of the Kwantung Army in the woods next to the village, so they went there and accidentally entered an ancient tomb and encountered a giant zongzi..."
"Big Zongzi?" Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion, "What is that?"
"It's zombies!" Seeing Lou Wenjun's unhappy face, Lou Wenru explained, "These two were chased by zombies and happened to break into the secret fortress of the Eastern Army. They used the weapons and explosives inside to kill the zombies."
"Afterwards, they sent the items they brought out of the ancient tomb to Panjiayuan for consignment. The owner of the consignment shop then introduced them to a job for hire, to take a Chinese man from Magnesium to find the ancient city of Jingjue."
"At the end of the movie, they brought back a batch of antiques from the Western Regions to Panjiayuan for consignment."
Lou Xiao'e asked tentatively, "Did you sell it for a lot of money?"
Lou Wenru and Lou Wenjun nodded silently, then picked up the wine glass at the same time and took a big gulp!
From ancient times to the present, money moves people's hearts!
In the movie plot of Ghost Blows Out the Light adapted by Zhang Heping, the shots of the appearance of three Heping brand electric cars have about the same number of frames as the horror and adventure scenes, while the shots introducing antiques and the buying and selling of antiques have relatively more frames.
Focus on one, drive for a quick adventure, and finally sell the antiques for satisfaction.
"That's it!" Lou Wenjun suddenly pointed at the LCD TV hanging under the floor in the restaurant hall and said in an indignant tone: "The location where this Heping brand SUV is parked is outside the Beimeng Village in the movie."
Lou Xiao'e turned her head and saw that the white electric off-road vehicle on TV had run out of power and was left on the grassland by two people, one fat and one thin; then the sun and the moon rose rapidly in turn on the TV screen, and the weeds next to the electric off-road vehicle quickly turned yellow and withered, and then sprouted and grew quickly again.
After a long time, a lot of weeds and wild flowers grew on the electric off-road vehicle, so electric poles were built behind the vehicle and electric wires were pulled up.
Finally, a black electric SUV drove into the picture and two men got out of the car. One man pulled out a black wire from the black electric SUV and then inserted it into the charging port on the front of the white electric SUV covered with flowers and plants.
Not long after, the white electric SUV started up, and then, covered with flowers and plants, it followed the black electric SUV to the left.
At the same time, two lines of text appeared on TV:
Heping. Electric off-road vehicle, unrestrained 1.0
Price: 66666 yuan
Although this advertisement has been on the air for many days, Lou Xiaoe didn't realize it until today, "This car was made by Zhang Heping?"
"Yeah!" Lou Wenru responded, then looked at Lou Xiaoe and asked, "Third sister, tell me the truth, you have been in the capital for so long, have you established any connections with Zhang Heping's family?"
...
After most Hong Kong businessmen visited Panjiayuan and Liulichang, the people who were most impressed were the men, women and children of Jichun City.
Especially, the second brother Zhou Chengwu who came in alone!
On the second day of New Year's Day, Zhou Chengwu took a huge sum of 13,000 yuan and bought a three-year-old Clivia with flower buds from an ordinary family in Jichun City.
With the idea of making a fortune from Hong Kong businessmen, he waited in Jichun City for three days and was shocked to find that there were fewer and fewer Hong Kong businessmen in the market, and even the turnover rate of Clivia had decreased.
Just when he was at a loss, several reporters and plainclothes officers from the capital quietly entered Jichun City.
Those who deal in Clivia would never have imagined that the impending calamity was actually an unintentional act of Zhang, the richest man who lived far away in Hong Kong Island and had never touched a Clivia.
The day before yesterday, director Wang Sumei received a call from the mainland, saying that many Hong Kong businessmen and foreigners were influenced by the movie Ghost Blows Out the Light. Not only did they gather in Panjiayuan and Liulichang, they also went to many township enterprises under the guise of investment and collected a lot of antiques from the countryside.
For this reason, Wang Sumei found Zhang Heping and wanted him to stop showing the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie, but this made Zhang Heping unhappy!
Zhang Heping's original words at the time were, "Auntie Wang, they don't care about the deceptive Clivia in Jichun City, they don't care about the harmful Taihui in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they don't care about the dirty fake medicine in Fuxia, why should they care about what movie I show! Haven't you noticed that more people are traveling to the mainland after my movie is released?"
