Chapter 49: Although it is far away, there are indeed many film studios in Hong Kong Island, ...
There are indeed many film studios in Hong Kong Island, and many excellent film and television works have been produced there.
However, these do not prevent the Hong Kong Island's film studios from being generally stingy and saving money wherever possible. In addition, the place is small, so 800 plays are used in one scene.
A luxury house. All the rich people in the show own this house.
The building king of "Above the Rooftop" is unprecedentedly majestic at first glance, and the decoration inside has never appeared before, without any compromise.
"So this is the best building." The audience all agreed that this house was used as the best building, and felt that they were not fooled.
Ordinary people watch the excitement, but rich people see something different. At this time in Hong Kong Island, many people who used to flee from the inland have not forgotten their roots.
When I saw the new Chinese style decoration in the drama, I felt that this decoration was also grand and upscale, suitable for their mansion.
But I have never seen this furniture in Hong Kong Island. It looks like it is from inland, so it is still worth mentioning.
Not knowing where to buy such furniture, those with connections simply called Zhang Xinyan to ask which craftsman made the furniture in their drama, and they also wanted to ask the craftsman to make a custom set for them.
The size of the house and personal preferences are different, so of course the furniture is custom-made to be more suitable for their status.
Zhang Xinyan asked Li Daohua again, and Li Daohua knew that this was not made by a master chef.
The furniture in her house was custom-made by a craftsman she found at random. The craftsman's skills were just adequate and he was able to make the furniture she wanted based on the sketches and descriptions she drew.
If you want something with carved beams and painted buildings, that’s impossible. Only a master’s master can make it.
But that would take longer and cost more, and Li Daohua couldn’t wait that long.
If these people don't have their own design drawings, the craftsmen can only make common items for them, which is the most popular style of furniture in the country.
But this is a way to make money, so Li Daohua took out his phone book.
There are many phone numbers recorded in Li Daohua’s phone book, most of which are factory numbers.
This was the phone number she received when she was visited during the publication of the reform trilogy. These factories all hoped to revive through reform, but it was difficult for them to find a suitable path on their own.
There was nothing to choose from, so Li Daohua just flipped it open and hit one at random.
"Hello, this is Bingcheng Furniture Factory."
"Hello, my name is Li Daohua. Are you the director of Bingcheng Furniture Factory?"
"Yes! It's me! Teacher Daohua, what can I do for you?" The person who answered the phone spoke excitedly.
"It's like this..." Li Daohua told Hong Kong Island that she wanted to buy furniture, and wanted to ask them if they could do it and whether they were willing to do it.
“This furniture needs to be designed individually. It is different from the current style on the market. The craftsmen in your factory may need to learn again. It would be better to train a few designers. After all, it is to be sold to the wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.
The price of furniture can go up, but the material and style must also keep up.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to go and study there."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hongqi, the director of Bingcheng Furniture Factory, immediately called upon all the talents in the factory.
There are highly skilled masters, technical workers who have attended high school, and the few college students in the factory.
Not only that, he also planned to go to his leader and cry about his poverty, hoping to get some support from above or from other sister units.
This is about making rich people's money, so you have to plan it well.
It’s still the same old story. Teacher Daohua found a way for them to make money.
As for "Above the Rooftop" mentioned by Li Daohua, he had not watched it either. After asking several people, he found out that it was a TV series from Hong Kong.
There are forest areas in Bingcheng Province with rich timber resources. Their sister factories, the timber mills, have also had a hard time in recent years.
The wood couldn’t be sold and the factory couldn’t pay workers’ salaries. Workers even secretly took wood home to use as fuel.
Winter is approaching, and if the wood is not sold, we will suffer a large loss in the winter.
At that time, only a few people could live in buildings and use central heating. More people needed to keep themselves warm in the winter, and burning coal or firewood was the most common way.
Burning coal is certainly more convenient, but it is not easy to buy coal, and coal is not cheap. It would be better to have free firewood.
The filming of "Above the Rooftop" was completed, and Li Daohua and his family were able to return to their own home.
Ouyang Yuan came back from the small courtyard, and while Li Daohua was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard basking in the sun, he used a fruit knife to peel a pear for Li Daohua to moisten her lungs.
"I've been thinking about it recently, and I want to discuss it with you. Otherwise, I won't go to work at the library anymore."
Li Daohua picked up a piece of pear with a toothpick and held a newspaper in her other hand. She had read less newspapers recently.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. There's no room for advancement in your job anyway."
There is room for advancement, but at this point in time, in a few years, more and more college graduates will be employed. By the time Ouyang Yuan has gained enough experience and a degree is required for promotion, he will have no chance with his junior high school degree.
He has no room for advancement, his salary is low, and his job is truly boring. Li Daohua finds it not easy for him to persist until now.
The appeal of organization to people is still huge.
"Ah? Do you agree?" Ouyang Yuan had already decided that if Li Daohua did not agree to resign, he would continue running between the two sides. Even if he was a little tired, he would never give up the team.
Their fleet has developed well during this period. They have many regular customers and a stable income every month. In addition to some new individual passengers, the income is not small.
With their current income, Li Fenghuo and Ouyang Yuan's brother both want to save money to buy a house in Peking and bring their family members to Peking.
They never thought of going home to marry and have children after making money. This was also what Ouyang Yuan instilled in them.
Having been with Li Daohua for such a long time, Ouyang Yuan also knows a little about economics. He has heard Li Daohua talk about the trend, the rare savings, the industrial clusters, the regional advantages...
He had explained these things to them in detail. If they only thought about making some money and going home, it would be difficult for them to encounter such a good opportunity again in their lifetime.
There are also many opportunities in Beijing. When they were in the village, it was difficult to find a job. The changes in Beijing in the past two years have been enormous.
With the reform and opening up, and the changing mindsets of people, more and more people have entered the self-employed industry early, and there are many people who set up stalls every day.
As for their village, they also went back during the Chinese New Year. From top to bottom, it is still relatively closed. No one dares to engage in self-employment. The more remote the place, the more closed it is.
"On the Rooftop" was finally introduced to China. Almost as soon as the finale was released in Hong Kong Island, it was officially released in mainland China.
Many people watch it just for fun, like Lin Jinfeng, who watches it on TV on time every day.
While watching the show, I would also discuss it with Li Daohua, and the topics she discussed were basically the few family matters in the show.
For example, Lin Jinfeng couldn't understand Anna's family situation. Why didn't the police care? Why did the neighbors just watch...
This is different from the situation in their village. Someone has died. If something like this happened in their village, there would be no need for the police to investigate. After a while, everyone in the surrounding area would know about it.
In this day and age, a murderer appearing in a village is still a very serious matter. Not only is it embarrassing, it also affects young people's blind dates.
In Lin Jinfeng's opinion, the situation of so many social groups in Gangzhai was like a bandit's den, and the commune militia must be mobilized to take it down together.
People like Lin Jinfeng belong to the majority. They don’t understand why a house costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and they don’t understand why people buy and speculate in houses. With the money, there are so many things they can do.
However, there are also a few people who, after watching "Above the Rooftop" repeatedly, suddenly realized that the country will sooner or later go down this path.
People who have some money in their hands start to wonder whether they can also buy and speculate in houses, and when is the best time to buy and when is the best time to speculate.
In a small county town in the south, many people have started small businesses since the country began its reform and opening up.
They are too poor, really too poor. As long as there is the slightest chance of getting rich, they are willing to give it a try. They are not afraid of going to jail. Going to jail is not as scary as being poor.
With this idea in mind, more and more people have saved some money by doing small businesses. Having money makes them more afraid of falling back into poverty, so they want to earn more money.
"It's okay to speculate in real estate. Look at those people speculating in real estate on TV. They don't have to do anything and they just make more and more money. We can do the same."
They earn their money by working hard from dawn to dusk, and it's very hard.
However, "On the Rooftop" showed them a very easy way to make money: speculating in real estate.
Of course, there is no room for speculation in a small place like theirs, and it is not easy to get to Hong Kong Island, so they set their sights on Shanghai and Beijing, which have relatively developed economies in China.
Another reason is that almost everyone of them has a copy of the Reform Trilogy, so naturally they all know Li Daohua.
The several houses purchased by Li Daohua are all in Peking, which shows that she is optimistic about the houses and housing prices in Peking and thinks she can afford to buy them now. So if they follow suit and buy them, they will definitely not lose money either.
"The power of one person is weak. If we want to speculate in real estate, we must unite and advance and retreat together. Let everyone know that we, the Wenzhou real estate speculation group, will speculate even if we are far away!"
They did what they said and began to collect various information on Shanghai and Beijing, and even organized a special team to conduct local investigations.
Li Daohua didn’t know about the real estate speculation group. She was having a headache now. After coming back, she wanted to take a rest.
She has been busy with TV dramas in Hong Kong Island most of the time this year and has not written any novels, but Liang Ning has come to urge her to come.
Not only Liang Ning, Ian was also urging her. "18 Again" was released and received rave reviews. His company needed new novels to film and could not stop, especially in creating stars.
