It was so noisy and chaotic that Master Zhou was worried about his mother's safety over there, so he suggested that she come back to live in this apartment.

"Ah Hua, you have a lot of information. Is Kowloon Walled City going to be redeveloped into an apartment complex or a public area? I've heard a lot of people say that Kowloon Park is going to be built there?" Zhou Ma asked Xing Baohua during dinner.

"Actually, in a mixed-use development, with both parks and apartments, the developers will definitely build commercial and residential areas within the parks. That's how they can sell them at higher prices!"

As Xing Baohua spoke, he continued, "How much compensation did you receive for that apartment? Is it enough to buy another one?"

“What’s the point of having so many houses? This one isn’t enough for my daughter and me,” Zhou’s mother said.

"Let's buy a few more while the houses are cheap! It'll be good to rent them out! At least we can make some money for gambling," Xing Baohua said.

"Yes, that's true. I'll think about it some more," said Zhou's mother, quickly finishing her meal before turning to go to her bedroom.

Xing Baohua then asked Master Zhou, "What film is Tsui Hark making?"

"Don't you know? You haven't even read the script, and you don't even know the title of the film, yet you've already invested so much money?" Master Zhou said helplessly, rubbing his forehead after hearing Xing Baohua's words.

"In the investment world, there's a saying: one is to invest in projects, meaning if you think a project is promising, you invest in it, and it might bring in a good profit. The other is to invest in people, meaning as long as that person is involved, it doesn't matter what project they do or whether they make money or not."

"As long as the person we invest in can make money, that's all that matters. Take me, for example? As long as I say I have a project, they don't care what the project is, they'll invest first. Xu Laoguai has the ability, he just lacks the opportunity. As long as the money is in place, his opportunity will come."

Xing Baohua explained.

"Aren't you afraid he'll cause you huge losses? After all, it's over ten million US dollars."

“There are risks in any business, including investing in people. I can afford to lose more than ten million. If I don’t give Xu Laoguai this chance, he will never have another chance. Very few people can afford to give him so much money to play with.”

"He wants to verify something, so he does it. That's progress, and it's also a kind of adventure. The 80s and 90s were the golden age of adult films. When these people get old, not many will be able to carry the industry." Xing Baohua said, lost in thought.

At that time, how long had it been since he had watched porn? Even if he had, it was only films starring a few familiar old stars.

As time goes by, these people of the golden age will grow old, and who will be able to take over? I'm afraid there will be a generational gap.

This isn't just needless worry; it's actually quite possible.

Just like MP3 players impacting cassette tapes, CDs, and vinyl records.

Gradually, cassette tapes disappeared, the clunky Walkman vanished, and then MP3 players appeared. Where did they all go? They were all compatible with mobile phones.

Of course, there's also a peculiar transitional product here: MP4 or MP5?

This is simply due to the unfortunate timing of their appearance.

Although it didn't become very popular, it's still available in other markets, mostly as generic brands. Major manufacturers don't make that kind of thing.

Their market share is being crushed by smartphones. Whether it's a feature phone or a smartphone, they have everything you need.

Just like Apple's iPod Touch, which has already reached its 7th generation.

Over 100 million units were sold through perfect attendance tracking. Except for the inability to make phone calls, it has everything else. The original design was based on an MP4 player, but an app was later added to enable this functionality. Users can play games, browse the internet, and chat.

Young people like this thing, after all, it's much cheaper than an iPhone.

Who among young people with money would play with this thing? Most of them are broke. Luckily, there's Huaqiangbei, which instantly solved the phone call problem. Just add a SIM card holder or phone case, and it not only makes calls but also comes with an external battery.

Make the touch battery last longer and playability last longer.

Therefore, it is very popular among young people in China.

Anyone with a bit of money wouldn't need that thing. To be honest, it's just a smaller version of a tablet.

Of course, its main function is to show off when you go out. But who knows if you can actually make a call when you take it out of your pocket! The appearance is the same as mainstream iPhones.

Xing Baohua had already conducted preliminary research on these things at the electronics factory in his hometown. Even though the conditions weren't mature, as long as Java ran stably, they would definitely be implemented.

In the semi-intelligent era, who can compete? There isn't a single one that can.

After finishing the meal, Master Zhou cleared the table, prepared some fruit for Xing Baohua, and then said to Xing Baohua, "Director Xu wants to make a science fiction martial arts film."

"Science fiction martial arts?" Xing Baohua knew his investment was doomed the moment he heard the subject matter.

"Yes! It's about a S-type organization that controls many S-types through drugs. The protagonist is a retired person who works in a library and wants to live an ordinary life."

But not long after, the organization found him and used his friends as leverage to force the protagonist to continue working for them.

Xing Baohua felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing this.

"Isn't this just a black-clad knight?" Xing Baohua thought to himself, shaking his head helplessly. With technology and action elements, where's the martial arts in this?!

At that time, Hong Kong people were very obsessed with martial arts.

Don't turn a good movie into a martial arts film; that would be a tragedy.

Actually, even Sect Leader Zhou didn't understand. He was just saying it casually.

But Xing Baohua thought that he should have a chat with Tsui Hark to prevent his 15 million dollar film from flopping.

With so much money, we should at least try to create an award and make some money along the way.

Even if it doesn't make money, the box office has to look good. For example, three to five hundred million in North America, and a hundred million in Europe.

That way it will look good on the surface. If it flops, who will invest in Tsui Hark in the future?
