Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Chapter 154 Occupy a Seat

When talking about shopping, Yang Xue became even more excited.

She was ready to go shopping.

Here there are both world-class luxury goods and various new gadgets, which greatly satisfy Yang Xue's curiosity.

As soon as I walked out of the hotel, I immediately felt an atmosphere that was completely different from Beijing.

In Beijing, most people dress simply, and the colors are not too bright;

However, the streets of ** are the world of people who are at the forefront of fashion. Both men and women express their personality and taste in their own way.

Su Chen and Yang Xue seemed a little out of place at first being in such a crowd.

But Su Chen adapted quickly. After all, he had seen a lot of new trends of this level before; while Yang Xue was eager for this shopping trip.

After finally arriving in **, how could it be like being in the countryside? Yang Xue certainly couldn't stand it.

So, she immediately took Su Chen with her and went to the mall to change clothes. In the end, even Su Chen changed into a well-fitting suit.

After a new look, the two of them completely integrated into the fashion of this city.

Su Chen's handsome appearance won the attention of the people around him.

They walked hand in hand on the street and became an enviable couple. Yang Xue was very satisfied and then took Su Chen to find something to eat.

"I heard the morning tea here is very interesting, why don't we try it?"

"Although morning tea originated in Guangzhou, if you want to try it, we can go and try it now." Su Chen responded.

They randomly chose a morning teahouse with a long queue in front of it.

These tea restaurants are usually open until late at night, attracting people to come and enjoy light snacks.

Although Su Chen and Yang Xue needed to wait patiently at first, he immediately walked to the front of the line and exchanged a considerable tip for a position waiting for customers in front.

These customers who had originally lined up early were just used to the rules here, and seeing Su Chen being so generous, they immediately agreed to his request.

Fortunately, Suchen had prepared Hong Kong dollars in advance - different currencies are used here.

Coupled with his fluent Hong Kong Chinese, the locals have no doubts about his identity.

Witnessing this scene, Yang Xue's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Su Chen with admiration, "You speak Cantonese so well."

"Maybe I'm just good at learning languages." Su Chen replied with a smile.

With his excellent communication skills and calm attitude, Su Chen did not reveal any sense of unfamiliarity as a newcomer.

The waiter's behavior was not as the outside world said, that they would make things difficult for mainland customers or even maliciously raise prices. On the contrary, they were extremely respectful to the guests. Judging from the good temperament of Su Chen and Yang Xue, they were obviously superiors, so after this meal, the two felt very happy. Especially Yang Xue, she felt that the snacks here were unique and completely different from those in Guangzhou. After the meal, the two also strolled in the street market to help digestion.

At this time, Mr. Zhang, who was taking a short break in the hotel, also went out for a walk. Su Chen calculated that the time was just right, glanced at his watch, and saw that he had missed the dining time, so he decided that it was a good time to sign the contract.

So, he returned to the hotel to gather Mr. Zhang and his lawyer team, who were in high spirits, and they all went to Mr. Hua to complete the signing ceremony - and the main purpose of this visit to Hong Kong was for this. After some rest, Mr. Zhang and others were in a better condition, and followed Suchen, who led them to Mr. Hua's private residence in Hong Kong.

Thanks to the appointment for this meeting, once Mr. Zhang informed his identity, the security guards in the residential area quickly let him in. At that time, Mr. Hua and Mr. Fa were discussing the affairs of the "Hongri Steel" enterprise in their apartment, but they didn't know that the key person they were talking about was on the way. Both of them were cautious about this cooperation intention:

Although the contract terms are very attractive and the market potential in the mainland cannot be ignored, they have previously focused on the development of the entertainment industry and have not been deeply involved in such business transactions. Therefore, they are skeptical: Can they adapt to new challenges? Can they gain a foothold in the business world and not be eliminated?

In view of this, both artists carefully considered the cooperation opportunity. Hua and Fa, who have a close relationship in private, have been discussing closely since they learned about this matter. The "Red Sun Steel" project has become the main topic in recent times besides work and film and television activities. But until now, they still have not formed a unified view. The key crux lies in the lack of understanding of the personal situation of the partner Su Chen. At this moment, the outer room alarm sounded, and the two realized that this important business partner had arrived at the door. They hurried forward to greet him.

As Su Chen and his team, including Yang Xue, entered the mansion, Watson was instantly excited and couldn't help but say, "Could this be the future boss? His looks alone are better than many actors." This made Mr. Fa laugh heartily, "Look at the demeanor of this boss. If he is not a businessman but has joined the entertainment industry, he would be more than qualified."

To this, Su Chen smiled and replied: "You two are better at acting, I am just a businessman." Despite his good looks - that day Su Chen and his group attracted many producers who gave them their business cards and invited him to audition for roles on the streets of **, but he did not care. Compared with an acting career, he prefers business; besides, becoming a public figure may restrict himself and is not in line with his wishes.

After hearing Su Chen's words, Mr. Hua and Mr. Fa both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the entrepreneur in front of them was much more friendly than they had expected. Then, the process became smoother: After Su Chen asked the legal advisor to submit the contract text for review and no objection was raised, the two quickly signed the agreement.

After all, what worried them at the beginning was that they were not sure what Su Chen's attitude would be. However, now that he was present in person, and Su Chen took the initiative to sign the contract, showing great sincerity, the two of them put their concerns aside and signed the contract immediately.

Considering the bright prospects of the Red Star Steel Mill, the two knew that there was a film company affiliated with the steel mill behind it, which made them more confident of the stability and promising future development.

After seeing Andy Lau and Fa Zai successfully sign the contract, Su Chen briefly chatted with them for a few minutes and then left, planning in his mind to try to win over the original director of "God of Gamblers" next.

He believed that actors were important, but it was the director who really gave life to a film, so he directly implemented this idea and successfully brought the director under his wing.

Fortunately, Assistant Zhang was thoughtful and had done a lot of research before this, and was familiar with the addresses of many celebrities in Hong Kong.

Even though hiring the director of "God of Gamblers" was not included in the initial plan, due to Assistant Zhang's prior knowledge, it seemed easy for him to accompany Su Chen to find someone.

Their visit came at the right time, as the director had been worrying about choosing a suitable script and lacking good creative inspiration. He spent the whole day at home pondering the next filming direction.

Su Chen's appearance was like a godsend, which made the director's eyes light up.

Although he initially did not intend to pay attention to the person who came to see him, because he already had many people asking him to direct a movie, but Su Chen provided an irresistible high-quality script.

Since deciding to shoot "God of Gamblers", Su Chen has copied a complete script by hand.

As his physical condition improved, his memory became more and more amazing, and he could even reproduce movies he had watched in the past without any errors.

With this special ability, he plans to recreate those classic films that once deeply moved him.

At first, the director had no intention of welcoming him, but when he learned that Su Chen was the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he opened the door to welcome him.

The name of "Red Star Steel Rolling Mill" is already very famous, and there have been frequent news reports overseas about disputes caused by its products, which made the director deeply impressed by this factory.

When they first met, the director was a little surprised by Su Chen. He didn't expect that this legendary factory director was so young.

Therefore, at first he had speculated that Suchen might be a wealthy man who had a bit of a gaming mentality towards the film industry, just like those coal merchants who tried to get involved in the film industry.

But the script handed over by Su Chen changed the director's mind. The script attracted his attention from the very beginning. As he read it more and more seriously, his expression became more and more solemn.

After the entire script was read, the director slammed his palm on the table, stood up and said, "This is great! This is the perfect script I have been looking for!"

Although he has directed a lot of works recently, he always feels that something is missing in his heart.

Now seeing this masterpiece brought by Su Chen, the director's emptiness was filled. This was exactly the good script he had been looking for.

His original opinion that Suchen might have just been acting on impulse had vanished, and now he was convinced that if he could make this film, he would be able to gain a place in the film industry.

The director asked, "Did you write this script?" Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I wrote it."

As for the original script, it actually had little to do with Suchen. After he wrote the entire movie script based on his personal memory, he still adjusted some details, such as how to present the cruise ship and its specific situation as a gambling ship.

These adjustments were made to promote the luxury cruise ships and yachts built by the shipyard. Through clever design, these contents not only did not break the continuity of the plot, but also added a lot of color to the original script.

The director was quickly attracted by this series of descriptions. He praised: "There are many such stories performed on ships, but this is the first time I have seen such a plot on a gambling ship. It is very interesting to write. I think this part is very exciting."

Hearing the praise, Su Chen smiled calmly: "It's just a little creative idea that came to me by chance. But I'm not good at filming and production, so I still need your professional guidance."

Upon hearing this, the director quickly shook his head and denied it: "It's not me who helped you, it's you who helped me with such an excellent script!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked around the room excitedly. "This is such an excellent script. I need to think carefully about how to shoot it."

Then, Suchen mentioned the two main actors he had already decided on, Hua Zai and Fa Zai, and told the director that the responsibility of assembling the rest of the production team would be given to the latter, and at the same time stated that he would provide support no matter how much the budget was. "However, there is an additional requirement, which is to use the real cruise ships and yachts I provide during the filming."
