The three of them walked into the private room chatting and laughing, and the bodyguard naturally stayed outside.

"Come on, order some food. Order whatever you want quickly. He is not short of money." Liu Shanming handed the menu to Li Qinghe and winked at him.

Li Long has been in the entertainment industry for some years and has directed and acted in several movies. He is indeed not short of money. Every movie he appears in is a big hit.

This time I returned to Hong Kong City for a movie shoot.

Li Qinghe didn't hesitate to take the menu and started ordering.

None of the three of them cared about the cost of a meal. To be polite in this regard and to be reluctant to pay would be an slap in the other person's face.

Who are you saving money for? What if you think I can't afford it?

"Brother Ming, with a big client like you here, aren't you being too modest when you say I have plenty of money?" Li Long joked with Liu Shanming while ordering food.

While waiting for the food, the three of them chatted and eventually talked about movies.

"Aaron, do you want me to invest in this movie?" Liu Shanming said bluntly.

Li Long is the guarantee of the box office, and that's all money, so naturally he wants to make some of it.

Li Long thought about it briefly, then nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Ming, I'd love to have a stake, but the investment in this movie is not big, only over a million. How much is Brother Ming prepared to invest?"

Currently, Hong Kong's film industry is still in its development stage, far from the flourishing state of later generations. Being able to spend more than one million to make a movie is already a huge investment.

Later on, no matter what they do, they all want to get involved in the film industry. Apart from making some box office money, they also value another function of movies. Those who understand will understand.

Liu Shanming thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about 300,000?"

Although Liu Shanming is powerful and Li Long gives him face, it does not mean that he can have everything his own way.

Li Long did some calculations in his mind and nodded, "Okay, 300,000. The movie is still in preparation. I'll let you know when it's ready."

This is the celebrity effect. Before the movie was even finalized, Liu Shanming invested 300,000 yuan in it.

The same goes for those traffic stars in later generations. As long as they participate, huge amounts of money will be invested, just like burning paper.

"No problem. Then I wish us a big box office success." Liu Shanming raised his glass happily.

The three of them drank a glass of wine before the food was served.

Li Long looked at Li Qinghe and said, "Brother Li, are you interested in investing a little? Of course, it's almost full now, so I can't give you too many shares."

He was doing this purely to save face for Liu Shanming and Li Qinghe and to make friends with them.

Li Qinghe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it. I don't understand these things. It doesn't matter to me. I can't help you. It's really shameless to give me money."

The movies that Li Long participates in are basically guaranteed to make money, so it's like giving away money.

Moreover, Li Qinghe did not think highly of the money earned from the movie. With the money, he would rather buy some research and development equipment. Making money simply for the sake of making money was too boring.

Liu Shanming thought that Li Qinghe didn't know Li Long, so he explained, "Ah Long is a guarantee of box office success. As long as he participates, we can make money without doing anything. Would you consider it?"

Li Long didn't say anything, but had a confident smile on his face.

Li Qinghe shook his head. "I'm really not interested in this. Besides, I don't have enough funds. Let's forget it."

"That's a shame. Look at you, what are you doing with the R&D equipment? It's a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, it's not enough to put it in. If you ask me, there's no point in doing anything without money."

It’s not like he had not thought about developing some technological products before, but was discouraged by the market.

Those research laboratories abroad would easily invest millions of dollars, and the key is the Lighthouse Coin. Even then there is no guarantee of results, and the money is often wasted. Even if they are rich, they cannot be so wasteful.

So, I gave up decisively and developed my international trade steadily.

"Qinghe is engaged in scientific research?" Li Long was surprised.

Having worked at the Lighthouse for many years, he certainly knows how expensive scientific research is. Many of the capitalists behind him are also involved in the same business.

It's really too expensive and not something that ordinary people can afford. In order to invest money in scientific research, those big bosses really rack their brains and look for ways to make money everywhere.

Now there is a scientific researcher sitting next to him, how could he not be surprised.

"Just give it a try. If it succeeds, that's the best. If not, just take it as a lesson." Li Qinghe shrugged.

In the eyes of others, he was indeed overestimating his own abilities, but Li Qinghe didn't think so. If those foreigners could do it, why couldn't he?

How am I worse than them? I don't have an extra head.

Our motherland is in decline now, but it will rise again. The resilience of the Chinese people is irresistible. As long as they are given a chance to breathe, they will eventually regain their status.

In my previous life, my motherland was targeted in various ways, both openly and covertly. Those white people always imposed blockades on all aspects. I can't really live on a woman's belly in this new life. I have to do something.

Li Long was silent for a while, then said, "I have been abroad for a few years, so I know a lot about it. I don't understand scientific research, but it is really expensive, so..."

"Haha, it's okay, I'm just trying it." Li Qinghe smiled without further explanation.

He has no outstanding results now and cannot convince others. He cannot say that he is a person from later generations and knows the future development trajectory.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Li Qinghe, Li Long and the others stopped talking and changed the subject.

If someone wants to try, let him try, and we don’t have to be too close.

In his previous life, Li Qinghe was curious about how much Kung Fu Li Long had practiced, so he asked tentatively, "Ah Long, you must have practiced a lot of Kung Fu, right?"
